...campaigns. Now the three friends are organizing Live 8, a series of free international concerts to be held on July 2 with unprecedented star power (Will Smith is host of a hip-hop-heavy show in Philadelphia; Pink Floyd will reunite in London on the same bill as U2, Coldplay, Madonna and Paul McCartney), all to pressure G-8 leaders to make debt forgiveness, fair trade and increased aid part of their Africa policies...
...away with singing almost anything on top of a good power chord. Don't believe it? Just ask the guys from Def Leppard. I hear they pour sugar on themselves in Capri this time of year.

Chairman Eric Nicoli partly blamed a 13% dip in annual profits on the delay of the group's latest album. All the more irritating, then, that Crazy Frog's Axel...
There's nothing worse than wasting a sunny day waiting in line. And with scores of major artists planning tours this summer--from Coldplay and the Rolling Stones to the Dave Matthews Band, above, and Alanis Morissette--this will be one of the biggest concert seasons in years. Savvy groupies are finding new ways to strategize for tickets using online resources. Here are some of the best tools for getting a seat--and avoiding those lousy lines. --By Jeremy Caplan
