Live Earth

Live Earth was supposed to raise awareness for green issues and climate change. Madonna urged the audience to jump up and down to change the world. This from a woman with investments in some of the most polluting companies in the US. I have a real problem with wealthy musicians telling me to fly/drive less and recycle more. A touring band generates a vast amount of CO2 and waste. The concert has not been well received. TV viewing figures were very low in the UK and there were complaints about the sound quality in the stadium and the clips that were shown on TV attracted more complaints for the songs that weren't shown than the swearing. I'm glad I didn't go. It seemed to be about neither music nor the environment.
