Do you think there will be a huge benefit concert for tsunami victims?
Not to sound cynical, but since 80's nostalgia is coming back, do you see a Live Aid-style concert on the horizon to benefit the victims of the disaster? Since there was already a 20th anniversary Band Aid recording, I'm inclined to say yes.

4. Barring a nuclear winter..
.. this would be the most catastrophic disaster in our lifetime.

But sadly, not enough to displace R-progs for good.

3. Exactly,
but the problem with the Concert for Bangladesh is that it was a huge financial disaster. Hopefully, if someone does organize one, may it go off much better. I see Geldof planning a Live Aid 2.

5. oh you know it
Nothing wrong with that, as long as the aid gets to the people in need and it isn't just a big publicity stunt.

6. If there is, I think this would be a Kick-ass line up...
Jane's Addiction
Nine Inch Nails
The Smiths (Reunion)
U2

And the headliner would be...


The Clash!!!!
