Arctic Monkeys Have No Use For Gore's Ego-Fest
It's nice to see that not all pop stars are self-important phonies of the type taking part in the absurd tribute to Al Gore's ego known as Live Earth, which is supposedly intended to raise consciousness about the imaginary global warming problem.
Drummer Matt Helders explains why his band Arctic Monkeys isn't taking part:
It's a bit patronizing for us 21 year olds to try to start to change the world. Especially when we're using enough power for 10 houses just for (stage) lighting. It'd be a bit hypocritical.
Adds bassist Nick O'Malley:
And we're always jetting off on aeroplanes!
Kind of like the Goracle himself.
The band's hometown Sheffield has been subjected to some heavy rain lately. Since we are told that weather is caused by global warming, the band was asked to comment. Helders again:
Someone asked us to give a quote about what was happening in Sheffield and it's like "who cares what we think about what's happening?" There's more important people who can have an opinion. Why does it make us have an opinion because we're in a band?
Could someone please get this message through to proselytizing moonbat musicians like the Ditsy Twits, Ozzy Osbourne, Madonna, Linda Ronstadt, Eddie Vedder, Paul McCartney, et al.?
On a tip from NGWFJ.

Finally, musicians who have figured out that the ability to sing and play instruments does not make them philosopher-kings. We could use more entertainers like them.

Well! I may have to listen to some Arctic Monkeys. Hard to believe these guys haven't been tainted by the AGW movement that they would think their opinion on "global warming" actually matters a hill of beans, to paraphrase Bogie.
Gotta admit, these guys seem to have their heads screwed on straight. Let's check out their music.

Possibly the greatest band since The Rainmakers!

Hey, folks, they may have just put their careers in jeopardy...maybe it's time for Laura Ingraham or Mike Gallagher to launch some support campaigns?!? :D
