If it weren't so tragic it would be laughable. After all the money comes in to pay for the concert promoters, roadies, staff, etc., etc., basically overhead to mount such an event(s) maybe the poor starving, dieing Africans will get one tenth of one percent of the Live Ate concert proceeds, that's if they're lucky enough.
From Bush's speech:
Finally, overcoming extreme poverty will require humanitarian aid that focuses on results, not merely on inputs and other flawed measures of compassion. True compassion is measured by real improvements in the lives of men, women and children. And that is the goal and that is the focus of American policy.
