Live Aid guy disses Gore's Live Earth concerts
Posted by David Roberts at 1:49 PM on 15 May 2007
Here's what Live Aid and Live 8 organizer Bob Geldoff had to say about Gore's Live Earth concerts:
"I hope they're a success," De Volkskrant newspaper quoted Geldof as saying in an interview.
"But why is (Gore) actually organizing them? To make us aware of the greenhouse effect? Everybody's known about that problem for years. We are all (expletive) conscious of global warming," he said.
...
"I would only organize (Live Earth) if I could go on stage and announce concrete environmental measures from the American presidential candidates, Congress or major corporations," he told the newspaper. "They haven't got those guarantees, so it's just an enormous pop concert or the umpteenth time that, say, Madonna or Coldplay get up on stage."
