Pet Shop Boys criticize Live Earth
http://www.nme.com/news/pet-shop-boys/28571



Pet Shop Boys singer Neil Tennant has spoken out against this summer's Live Earth concerts.
Tennant has also hit out against Bono for his politically active role.
He said: "The Princess Diana concert is fair enough, but I feel more uneasy about the Al Gore thing. I've always been against the idea of rock stars lecturing people as if they know something the rest of us don't--it looks arrogant. It's not as if they have a private source of information. To state the obvious as if you are the only person that knows it is intellectually weak."
Of the U2 frontman Tennant told Yahoo!: "Bono uses his celebrity but in doing so he increases his celebrity. I've never even totally convinced that the rest of U2 feel comfortable with that."





為何我會是Pet Shop Boys的死硬粉絲? 非只是音樂, 而是他們對世事的看法, 那種客觀, 不附和潮流的態度. 而其作品中的歌詞和表現方法都滲出這些想法態度, 這算是我與他們之間的一種"通感".
環保非只是用用再造紙, 不用膠袋, 或調低冷氣溫度. 城市人要反省自己正在虛耗多少資源, 想想自己有多少衫褲鞋襪, 多少毛公仔, 用多少染髮劑.........真小人比偽君子好得多, 如果自己真是花費一族浪費一族, 請收起"我唔用膠袋, 我好環保架."之類的說話.
至於pop star歷來推動環保的效用真是"有目共睹", 一個環球concert只會浪費資源, 請不要將虛偽的環保冠冕放在自己頭上, 然後接受盲目群體的禮拜.
