Live 8 Tokyo Style
Apparently, the Live 8 concert in Tokyo was a bit of a bust, in spite of having a lineup that included Bjork and the Japanese band Dreams Come True, in addition to Good Charlotte. The Telegraph reports that Bjork stole the show (which doesn't surprise me; I'm a big fan, and it's always interesting to watch someone as crazy as she is on a big stage).
But only 10,000 people went to Makuhari Messe to see the concert, or slightly fewer people than were at the tricked-out car show I attended in Chicago a few weeks ago. Quick note: if you happen to be in the Tokyo area at the time of the next major earthquake, try to give Makuhari Messe and Tokyo Disneyland a wide berth. They're on reclaimed land areas that will, I assume, turn to warm porridge when the temblor hits.
