Stop (the poverty) live performance

[zoo99]

This is like watching a train wreck,not so much for u2/pearl jam performance and edge's great solo. But was this put together by a bunch of highschool kids? Watch from the 4:45 mark and you get to see who I think they say is the mayor, WOW what a clown.
This is the funniest thing I've watched in a while.

click on the right hand side " Bono fronts Pearl Jam" then skip to about the 4:45 mark although if you watch from the begining you get to see the M.C. ask the crowd to rush the front of the stage before realizing how stupid that was he then asks them to rush carefully!

John So (the mayor) is a Legend!!



from Wikipedia

During the 2006 Commonwealth Games, John So was warmly welcomed by Melbourne as a figurehead of the city, on most occasions more so than Victorian Premier Steve Bracks and Prime Minister John Howard. This has led to "John So, he's our bro'" T-Shirts being manufactured and worn by some Melburnians as a testament to the city's tolerance and multiculturalism. John So has since been raised to near-cult status, with the mere mention of his name enough to invoke cheers and chants from many people.

Recently a parody of the Aerosmith and Run-D.M.C. hit 'Walk This Way' was played on the Nova 100 Station in Melbourne. It was called the 'John So Way' and had John So repeating "share your fish with everyone" and other comments he had made. It can be downloaded at the Nova 100 website. The Music Men, a Melbourne rap trio, launched a song called "John So, He's My Bro" on 3AW at 7:40 on the 7th April 2006. It has lyrics that say "we like his style" and that "there's no disputin' he's the new Bert Newton

What I thought was funnier was seeing the audience all sitting in their seats like they're in Mass, before he asked the crowd to come to the front if they wanted to.
