Singing in the rain

Posted by Steve Orme on July 9, 2007 1:43 PM | 

ON Saturday a load of Mercedes limo driven pop and rock artists, at least one ageing out of tune folkie and St Al Gore of Re-invent took to stages world wide and crooned on about their own green credentials.
At home millions with nothing better to do, tuned in and burned out on a wholly pointless and unnecessary energy consumption spike.
What is it makes popular musicians think that by climbing an a stage and singing to a soaking, muddy crowd they will solve anything at all? Remember Live Aid? Seen any less African poverty recently?

The folkie? Well come on, have you ever seen anything as out of its time and pointless as Melissa Etheridge?
