Pet Shop Boys Attack Live Earth

Lately we have witnessed a lot of stars attacking the Live Earth event. Now Neil Tennant (a member of the Pet Shop Boys) is the latest to attack the events that will be held this summer. Weather or not there is some interest in this the fact remains that he does say some hard things that seem so right:
“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. Bono uses his celebrity, but in doing so he increases his celebrity. I’m never even totally convinced that the rest of U2 feel comfortable with that.â€
As you can see Neil also attacked Bono, probably one of the most known figures to promote Live Earth. It is right that the U2 front man gained a lot of popularity for such events and we never got to see the band as a whole getting involved in this. Maybe the Pet Shop Boys have something here. Maybe the Live Earth series is just designed to build more popularity and gain more money instead of what it was designed for.
