4 : Preachers

Apparently Thom Yorke wants me to make a more careful & considered choice when it comes to buying chocolate.

Fuck off

Whatever next? Is Chris Martin & Bono going to stand next to my local supermarket checkout going through my trolly to make sure that the coffee I buy gives a fair price to one armed single parent lesbian coffee farmers.... or something.

I'm bored of being concerned about everything. And even if I was moved to do something because of an appeal it certainly wouldn't be because some rock star thinks I should be. Of course i'm going to give a flying fuck about climate change because Bono thinks I should be. Yes I am going to be lectured to about climate change by a man who flies items of clothing first class on jumbo jets. The day my carbon footprint is bigger than yours them you can lecture me , until that day happens shut the fuck up.

And lets be honest , does anyone really give a shit about debt in Africa? I mean what exactly am I supposed to do about it? I didn't lend them the money.
The only reason anybody gave a shit about Live 8 was to see Pink Floyd reform. As far as the cause behind it or the bunch of non entities who played before Pink Floyd , who cares.

Although I can't really include benefit gigs in this. As far as i'm concerned a gig is a gig and once i've paid my money to get in who cares what happens to it. If it goes to a charity then great , more power to you. As long as I get my moneys worth i'm happy.

Basically i'm bored of all these lilly livered liberal rock stars being caring & sharing. If I want to be informed about something i'll pick up a newspaper and read about whats going on. I don't see why I should pay special attention to something you can't keep your gob shut about just because you can strum a couple of chords. If you feel that strongly about something write a song about it. At least that way you'll keep me entertained as you lecture me.

I much prefer my rock stars coked up to the eyeballs talking shite to be honest.
