A major earthquake in Chile, this one not long after the one in Haiti. Is it just me, or do there seem to be more earthquakes lately? It's like the world is getting sick of us abusing it and is just showing us who is the real boss in this relationship.
I wonder who will arrange the charity song this time and which one they will choose?
Call me cynical, but I get a bit fed up of seeing these mega-rich superstars "giving their time free of charge" to make these cheesy, basically crap songs. If they just had a whip-round they could raise a lot more than their charity single ever could, especially in these days of illegal downloads.
I remember the late eighties, there was a real fashion for charity singles for any old reason. It was like - there's been a car crash, let's make a charity single; some old woman lost her purse - charity single; the last charity single didn't do very well so let's make another charity single to help the last one.
I think Bob Geldof has a lot to answer for.
Still, I guess it wasn't as bad as it is now, in this era of egos, where everyone on the single is trying to outperform all the others - kind of missing the point of it, really.
Anyway, my thoughts and prayers are with the people of Chile today, and I promise I won't illegally download their charity song.
