Oh what a bunch of hypocrits there are in the music business!
I fly all over but I know I am burning carbon. At least I don't pretend to be a good guy about it. Not like these imbeciles.
Have you got into the Live Earth thing yet? Well if you haven't you will. And what a crock of non-sense it is.
Imagine this; Bring a load of self centred, ego-maniacs with their entourages half way across the world. Put them up in 5 star, expensive and non-eco friendly hotels. Ferry them to and fro in big Limo's and then charter the most expensive helicopters to get them to the gig. Make sure that whilst they are there the tents are air conditioned and filled with chilled Champagne from France and Grapes from Guatemala- clearly defined on the rider these items must be of original provenance and it doesn't matter if you can make do on Sparkling wine and a packet of Jaffa Cakes. The celebs must be looked after!
Now get 50 fat radies from Arkansas and Alaska to fly and rig and turn on a 50 thousand watt light rig and the biggest PA that money can buy. Make sure that they are all trucked there on large flat bed - diesel powered lorries. Power the whole thing on generators fuelled by Diesel. Leave them running even when there is no need.
Then invite 200 000 of your closest friends and make sure that they need to travel to the most far flung places in the world from London, to Sydney and Japan, Shanghai, Brazil, South Africa and New Jersey ( where of course you won't be able to smell the stink from Elizabeth because they will turn fans on to re-direct the fumes from the chemical plants).
Add in the global TV execs and the sponsorships and the added air miles and congestion and you have a recipe for Live Earth.
Has anyone thought this through?
Live Earth? More like Kill me quick.
No wonder we are worried. Our stars are burning so brightly they can't see how toxic they can be!
Wankers.
