Of Interest.

From a true economic giant....(s)....

Rock stars....is there anything they don’t know?

[Cyber Liberty]

"... remember how people live in Africa and India, where they have absolutely nothing but family, love, music and fun."

Not to forget Assault Rifles (the real kind with selectable fire), RPGs, explosive vests and the occasional tank. Pretty idyllic.

[Dallas59]

That’s nice and everything....But I could care less about bum-duck-india and any other india. The bills can’t be paid with lurve and music.

People will probably jump all over him for saying that, but I agree with him.

We've built a consumer culture where, as Neil Postman said, we amuse ourselves to death. Most of us have too much "stuff". Our society's labor and capital go toward lawyers, marketing, tacky fashions, and bad culture.

It's not for me to say how others live. I would wave no magic wand. I would propose no "leveling" legislation. But I think we would all be a lot better off if we lived frugally, ate basic food, wore simple clothing, and spent less time with electronic toys. We're not poor -- but many of us sure seem unhappy.

This coming from the guy who once sang, “There won’t be snow in Africa this Christmas time...”....Really?!?!?? Genius!

[Artcore]

Hey Simon, why don't you do us all a favor: get your good friend Bob Geldoff (sp), Bono, Sting, and other mega rich liberal entertainment friends and go do a benefit concert where 3% actually goes to the victims.

Sorry, but to this day I cannot watch the “We Are The World” video. These people are absolute douche bags!

Until this celebrity is living on $50k a year (as half of all Americans are) and wondering how the higher taxes and energy/food costs demanded by the Obama regime will affect his standard of living, I invite him to STFU!!

[ChinaGotTheGoodsOnClinton]

Dear Mr. Asshat:

With the peoples and the countries of the west being bankrupted by 0bummer, who is going to be in a position to help the starving people of Africa?

[ChinaGotTheGoodsOnClinton]

That wasn’t addressed to you Silvie! That was meant for that has been singer dude.

how people live in Africa and India, where they have absolutely nothing but family, love, music and fun."

Fun .... ?

Like disease, poverty, rebel hordes who steal from them, rape their women, take their sons for war?

Please, Mr. whoever you are, tell me what "fun" exists for these people.

[ConorMacNessa]

My perspective? I've been a productive member of the work force for half a century, my income has declined 40% since 2007 through no fault of my own, I'm struggling to meet my mortgage payments and other obligations, and the Marxist bastard in the WH is raising my taxes.

If Simon LeBon wants to share the wealth, let him share his own!



Keep Faith with the Fallen of Benghazi! Let the Obama Regime, for once, tell the Truth!

Fiat Justitia, Ruat Coelum!

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[Revolting cat!]

At last, at last! We've been holding pour collective breath waiting for Monsieur LeBon's expert opinion. Now what remains to complete the debate is the opinion of the leader of the Archies.

[plain talk]

should remember how people live in Africa and India, where they have absolutely nothing but family, love, music and fun."

Where have I heard of that before? They think we should get used to less liberty, freedom and prosperity and just accept life in Gulag.

Africa is not poor, they are tribal.

[Lancey Howard]

Okay. This guy is a rock star. And as the great Alice Cooper noted:

"If you're listening to a rock star in order to get your information on who to vote for, you're a bigger moron than they are. Why are we rock stars? Because we're morons. We sleep all day, we play music at night and very rarely do we sit around reading the Washington Journal."

(shrug)
I happen to love Duran Duran music.

[ConservativeStatement]

I see a remake of Duran Duran's “Planet Earth” 2013 is just moments away. /sarc.
