I have SO many questions after listening to this. I'd love to hear HOW one goes about organizing a big concert. How did people like Bono hear about it? As a person who activism is mostly in the left (which uses different tactics than this), this is very interesting to hear about but also sounds so ... not bizarre but unfamiliar because I know people who have organized a protest where 100's of people showed up and that was amazing, but I never hear of people i know doing something like this. (except maybe Occupy Wall Street. The earlier days did attract a number of famous folks. But most events are like a pebble in the pond. I don't often hear of these large events happening and so my brain wants to know the logistics. That said getting involved with Global Citizen via their site has been interesting for me as an activist, not just because it exposes to different tactics (which is always good to hear how other people are doing it. Good to grow and learn) but also keeps me informal on a global level, as there is so much fuckery sometimes just going on locally, let alone nationally, that I just don't always hear about more global issues with a great amount of detail.
