Concerts - Live Earth v Diana

Heres Further proof that it's not just myself and the Cookie Monster that think the Live Earth concert and artists was a pile of non-recyclable crap. People woud rather watch a real hero who touched so many and helped so many people that a bunch of tossers who don't practive what they preach.

The BBC reports.

BBC One's average ratings between 2000 and 2200 BST on Saturday were 3.1 million, compared with 11.4 million for the Diana gig on the previous Sunday

It's also funny that 130 people compained about bad language, (such as Chris Rock shouting "Mother Fucker" in the late afternoon - oops) but 400 people complained about Metallicas act being cut short.

Live Earth

I don't get this Live Earth concert

While I appreciate that we all must play our part in stopping the world from breaking, it seems very hypocricial for the people such as Madonna, The Pussycat Dolls and the like giving such a message.

Are these not the very same people that fly private jets, helicopters, have entourages with many cars, demand

For Example
Madonna has demanded the following for the actual Live Earth rehearsal - "She has asked for 12 dozen boxes of strawberries, eight full-length mirrors, a skipping rope, Yorkshire Tea, organic green tea, and vanilla room spray" source

Kanye Wests' usual demands include - security personnel (40 security officers, 11 University Police officers and five or six parking patrollers) and a detailed catering menu covering three full meals, three dressing rooms and a bus full of people.

The list goes on, but as far as I am concerned, I'd rather these pompous, diva-like arseholes not preach how we should stop destorying our planet when they are far more destructive than the "average Joe"

And how much damage did the 7 concerts do to the envinment, I know they were very caeful, but why not have "energy efficient" concerts in public parks.

And for the record, I use low energy lighbulbs, have energy efficient appliances, car-share to work, recylce all my paper, glasss, plastic, card and garden waste.

EDIT: 08/07//07 07:37 - I may stand corrected judging by some reports today.
