We Black Sabbath fans are humbly asking you to consider the possibility of recording a live, acoustic album. Not only would an 'unplugged' album be a wonderful opportunity to re-visit (and breath some new life into) some Black Sabbath classics, but it would allow Mr. Osbourne to perform on a successful live album while avoiding the vocal strain that may have contributed to Ozzy's debilitating Bronchitis on last year's Black Sabbath tour.[see full story for more plus a link to sign.

The plan to have Annie Lennox warble a bunch of nonsense at thousands of people in Hyde Park in a Live 8 concert has critically backfired, even though it'll probably draw lots of positive long-term attention. So now Geldof is starting to concentrate more on the march in Gleneagles four days after the concert.

He's already asked pupils and teachers to skive off school for the day, and now comes Sail 8 - a plan for south-coast boat owners to sail across the channel and pick up European protesters. [see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story
