Global concert: Yes, very cool (MUSIC NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO SAVE THE WORLD FROM GLOBAL WARMING ALERT)

I found the whole Live Earth to be a condescending piece of crap by a bunch of has-beens, never-will-bes and accidents of a fad (rappers). I found it comical when these nobodies tries to get the crowd to sing along to their crappy songs and no one knew the words. Maddona lives in castle and she’s lecturing about other people’s carbon foot prints. Kayne West just sucks as did most of the rappers. I have little to no respect to “musicians” who don’t play an instrument. (I’ll give Frank Sinatra a pass because he was that good). It seemed I could only watch for 5 minutes before some dope with a bone thru their nose started telling me to turn off my computer screen when I was not using it. I don’t accept their premise that our climate is in crisis. I resent Al Whore trying to use music for such a doppy cause.

Kanye needs to stick to reciting nursery rhymes over a backbeat because that doesn't require any musical talent.

LOL!! Bwaha..

Kayne West: We all know JoeBuck doesn't like black people.

Just wondering..... how much CO2 was emitted pouring all those beers?

And how much MORE was emitted "processing" them?

Baby boomers like Gore and Geldof are fond of saying that the music of the '60s inspired a generation to end the war in Vietnam. But historians and sociologists who've studied the anti-war movement maintain that fewer youths were motivated by political conviction than joined the cause because it seemed like the "cool" thing to do, with groovy sounds and good times for all.

We needed sociologists and historians to tell us that?
