Live Earth Concert Lineup

This is it:UB40, Joss Stone, Angelique Kidjo, Baaba Maal, Danny K, The Parlotones, The Soweto Gospel Choir, Vusi Mahlasela, and Zola.What is that? Every other venue just about gets the biggest baddest bands in the world but we get South African Acts (WHICH ROCK MY WORLD) that I can see any time, any where in SA. I love the local bands, they are lekker, but lets be honest, Live Earth is meant to be raising awareness by recruiting the world leaders in music... AHEM.Some of the artists we wont see:Jack JohnsonSnoop DogKatie MeluaDave Matthews BandRed Hot ChilisFoo FightersDavid GreyAkonPaolo NutiniJohn MayerMadonnaBlock PartyGENESISBlack Eyed PeasBeastie BoysKeaneAND MANY MANY MORE.Why do the international organisers of this sort of event always screw SA. It happened at the Live 8 concert too. We were an afterthought and a concert was thrown together.I will probably not be attending the conert. No thanks, I don't like being second fiddle.
