Reasons I just could not get into Live Earth:
1. One of the main things we need to do to conserve energy is stay still, not encourage hundreds of performers to load up trucks and planes full of equipment and mobilise their entourages to get to global concert locations, not to mention the number of concert goers getting from A to B and the numbers of TVs on watching!
2. No one in the audience really seemed to give a toss (as seen by boo'ing of Terrance Stamp's well intentioned but oh so dull speech)
3. Nothing really informative at all was said to the audience - how about 'turn your AC down, your lights off when not in use, stop eating so much red meat, recycle and stop getting into your car for every little thing' instead of watered down 'take the bus once a week'. Yeah, that will do it.
4. 'Que sera sera' by David Gray- was he high or just a ****ing idiot to pick that song?
5. Jonathan Ross at Wembley said something incredibly stupid about how we each need to take responsibility for our actions and take the consequences as individuals. What? What we do effects EVERYONE else. We don;t walk around in our own ecospheres (well maybe he does.) Jonathan, were you smoking with David Gray??
6. The image of Madonna transforming into a sleaker Courtney Love rock chick, and giving her guitar (Madge? guitar? huh?) some amp, sent shudders through the ice caps. And she's way to old to say 'mother f***ers' without people laughing. Though she did look great and the performance, apart from strumming, was revved.
7. Why was it in Wembley Stadium and not somewhere outdoors where people could get a sense of the nature they take for granted?
Verdict: Lame Earth
