Thanks to Philip Wilson (not to be confused with Wilson Phillips) we just learned that PG will be appearing on the Charlie Rose this Monday, show to discuss Witness. So, check your local PBS affiliate for the exact time for this show, tune in and shh…listen.

This year, Davos is a little different. Fewer artists and musicians are in attendance, but Peter Gabriel, Bono, Paulo Coelho, and Angelina Jolie are still part of the conference. Wonder what Peter will discuss with Joseph Blatter (FIFA), vs what he may discuss with Jacques Rogge (Olympic Committee – London 2012 – Millenium Dome gets used for Gymnastics and Basketball!)? I’m not saying, I’m just saying.

This is an excerpt from the AP article by Matt Moore, AP Business Writer.

A new theme this year will be the role of sports in promoting economic growth and fostering ties between countries. Among those scheduled to attend to discuss sports are FIFA President Joseph Blatter; Jacques Rogge, president of the International Olympic Committee; and David Stern, commissioner of the U.S. National Basketball Association.

The meeting will also feature celebrities, who have come to tout personal causes. Last year, actress Sharon Stone called for the donation of money to pay for pesticide-treated mosquito netting, standing up and donating $250,000.

This year Davos welcomes U2 front man and debt relief advocate Bono; Brazilian literary superstar Paulo Coelho; musician Peter Gabriel; and actress Angelina Jolie, a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations.

Adams said the presence of celebrities and sports figures is part of the mix that makes the annual meeting comprehensive.

"The problems that the world faces now are so multidimensional that you need to get people from every single group to try and tackle them," he said.

What is the impact of SSL’s new owners Peter Gabriel and David Engelke, given that they are both professional SSL users?

There is a lot of excitement inside and outside of SSL since the announcement of our new ownership last May. This partnership represents the best of all possibilities for a new SSL. Our new board of directors is very strong and two of the three directors have a long history with SSL dating back to the foundation of the company. Everyone is delighted with the progress we have made in only six short months and the future is bright. When you are owned by a brilliant performer and technologist, Peter Gabriel along with the talented American entrepreneur David Engelke, only good things can happen. Watch for exciting things to come.
