Who c-cares about Live Earth?
May 19, 2007
JUST when it looked like every rock star on the planet was jumping aboard AL GORE's green bandwagon, there’s a backlash already underway.
THE WHO's ROGER DALTRY has blasted the big Wembley gig Gore is organising to raise awareness of global warming.
The huge concert - which features performances from the likes of MADONNA and RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS - is taking place at Wembley on July 7 and in other countries around the world.
But Roger, who played with U2 at Live Aid and Live8, reckons the whole thing is a waste of time.
Speaking exclusively to Bizarre, Roger said: "Bo***cks to that! The last thing the planet needs is a rock concert.
"I can't believe it. Let's burn even more fuel.
"We have problems with global warming, but the questions and the answers are so huge I don't know what a rock concert's ever going to do to help.
"Everybody on this planet at the moment, unless they are living in the deepest rainforest in Brazil, knows about climate change.”
The rocker, who used to sing about my g-generation, added: "My answer is to burn all the f***ing oil as quick as possible and then the politicians will have to find a solution.”
Roger's comments come hot on the heels of SIR BOB GELDOF’s equally scathing views.
Last week the Live Aid hero lashed out, saying: "Why is Gore actually organising them? To make us aware of the greenhouse effect? *
"Everybody's known about that problem for years. We are all f***ing conscious of global warming."

We are all f***ing aware that you are a savvy self promoter "who" (no pun intended)knows what to do to keep yourself in the mainstream prompted by the phobia you tote for a rocking (again no pun intended) chair.
"My answer is to burn all the f***ing oil as quick as possible and then the politicians will have to find a solution.” Cheers!
Is Bullocks really a swear word? I thought it was a nicer way of saying Bull S**t, like just saying bull.
I just want to know what kind of secret experimental drug has been introduced worldwide that has people following the lead of algore? I’m not a conspiracy nut by nature, but the contrails MUST contain some kind of mind altering chemical. I mean, ALGORE, FGS...
What a poor old sod, a tired bloke .....
bul·lock (b??l’?k) Pronunciation Key
n.
A castrated bull; a steer.
A young bull.
These singers and musicians should just walk or bike down to their local parks and strum on their acoustic guitars.
Better yet, Algore and his pals should stop traveling by plane or car altogether and they should stop using the Internet and electricity and they should shut down their various businesses and enterprises and they should all sit on their front porches and send out good thoughts and white light.
“Bollocks” is a word of Anglo Saxon origin, meaning testicles in British English and in Hiberno-English.
ah yes lets have a rock concert where we will fly all the performers in on private planes ...supply all their whims backstage...trailers, limos etc....and and and ...well dang all that energy that will be used could have saved part of the planet alone!!!!!!!!!can you say hypocrits?
1) A Live Earth spokesman said: “People are aware of global warming but millions are not doing anything about changing their lifestyles.”
2)"My answer is to burn all the f***ing oil as quick as possible. . ."
This says what it is all about. The liberals want to make us change our lifestyle. And they will do anything to make that happen. First they tell us we're running out of oil so we will change our lifestyle. Now, since they were wrong about that, they say the oil is ruining the earth.
Bullocks used to be a respectable department store in California, until it was taken over by Macy's and combined with a mid-range chain to make it a ho-hum place to shop.
But that's not realy what you're asking. I take it as a morph of the term "Bollicks", which we used to use as saying "Oh, Balls!"
The proper spelling for the word he intended to use is ball*cks, which is indeed a Bad Word in Britspeak.
After I wrote this, it suddenly dawned on me, why Algore is so obsessed with this global warming thing. Because he's majorly responsible for it! I mean, Algore INVENTED the Internet! Think of all the electricity he has caused to be used! The man must be RACKED with guilt!
Maybe these artists/promoters & concertgoers can buy offsets and simulcast on an opposite screen the sellers in Africa living in the dark in a hut with no electricity, no fresh water. and no music. Bref, with no hope!
Roger obviously doesn’t understand the far-left mindset. It doesn’t matter that a Rock Concert does absolutely nothing constructive about so-called global warming.
The important thing is that it makes all those who perform, and attend, the concert, feel better about themselves.
Feelings, not results, are whats important to a liberal.
Money, money, money, money money.....money!
Is Gore using these concerts to raise money for his run for the presidency ..??
If all the “kooks” should go for him, that will leave Hillary holding the bag (pun intended).
Looks like Rodger has yaken the first step toward the real world.
