RE: Sting
well if that's the case (The important thing for a musician is to sell records based on their musical integrity, not on any political view. So why should they get involved), then they should stay out of all of it. It's the 'pick & choose' bit I find dodgy.
and Blista mate, if he didnt do all that posturing I wouldnt have cause to get irritated with his twaddle in the first place you see.
the point is, how can a 'star' like Bono for example on the one hand give it all this stuff about how it's important to use 'star' status to bring attention to global injustices such as 3rd world debt, and then just shutup about the current HUGE global injustice/pile of crap that's happening?
are iraqi's & afghani's worth less that africans all of a sudden?... or have africans become simply some sort of handy 'stock' to employ to boost ones 'caring' profile? - or are africans more worthy of 'saving' (sic) cos they arent evil Muslims?
makes be barf anyways.
