Hey, I just saw Juanes at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City and it was a great show. He is really good live. It was refreshing to hear him sing so close to how he sounds on the radio. Nice to know he is the real deal. The music was wonderful. He spoke about the crisis situation in Colombia and basically gave the typically rock star speech about us all being one people sharing the planet etc....I wanted to hear him say something about Chavez looking and acting like a monkey. O well...

Personally, I can't stand his jingly-jangly, repetitive, derivative pop-lite with its platitude-ridden lyrics, but if it helps, why not?

Juanes, Vives, others to perform for peace Sunday at bridge between Colombia and Venezuela

Bogota, Colombia - Some of the biggest stars in Hispanic music plan to give a free concert Sunday atop a bridge linking Colombia and Venezuela in a show of unity between the South American neighbors still recovering from a diplomatic crisis.

Juanes, a Grammy-winning Colombian rocker, said the ``Peace Without Borders'' concert is an effort to ease tensions caused by a Colombian raid into Ecuador to kill a top rebel leader on March 1. In response to the attack, Ecuador and its ally Venezuela briefly sent troops to their Colombian borders.

``We want to consolidate the union between our peoples,'' he told reporters Tuesday by telephone from the Dominican Republic. ``We are brothers and sisters, we are equals. We just have to raise one flag together, the flag of peace.''

Juanes said others scheduled to perform are Miguel Bose, Carlos Vives and Spanish singer Alejandro Sanz, who has seen two recent concerts canceled in Venezuela after he criticized President Hugo Chavez.

Chavez has denied any attempt to censor Sanz and has said he is welcome to play in Venezuela.

Juan Luis Guerra's publicist confirmed his appearance at the event in an e-mail to The Associated Press on Tuesday.

The artists will perform on the Simon Bolivar Bridge linking Cucuta, Colombia, and San Antonio, Venezuela, while fans from both countries line the banks of the narrow Tachira River that marks the border, local officials said.

I wonder if Chavez will show up?

To get some press, I'm sure you can take it to the bank that he'll show his fat face, and talk bullshit.

Simon says on Mar 12, 2008, 15:38:

The concert is this coming Sunday, March 16. I hope it will be broadcast live in Caracol Tv Internacional.

Quote: "gave the typically rock star speech about us all being one people sharing the planet..."

Or maybe it's a typical Christian speech.

Those damn rockstars, always talking about peace and silly utopian dreams. Why can't they talk about bombing the shit out of everyone who is different? Why can't they promote hate and prejudice? Thank god Lennon (should have spelled his name a little differently, no?) and Marley are gone. Those guys were idiots. The world needs more singers like Toby Keith.

Too late. Uribe and Chavez are already friends again - back to the way it was before March 1st. Business as usual...

I had an interesting observation while they were showing the stage on the news last night....they have set up the stage on top of the international bridge and have placed the spectators down in the dry river bed...
I have some concerns about the set up
-is no one concerned about a one in million flash flood coming down the river and taking out 20,000 spectators
-is no concerned about the smell of the river I have walked and drove across this bridge a few times and smell was not very pleasant....I can't imagine someone spending 2-3 hours smelling that shit while listening to music ....to each his own

listo
