Bob Geldof Disses Live Earth and Madge

Bob Geldof, who successfully organized the global Live 8 concerts two years and 1985’s Live Aid, has criticized Al Gore’s Live Earth global concerts. The former star of Pink Floyd’s The Wall and frontman for The Boomtown Rats questioned the former Vice President’s intentions for staging the event telling the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant “"I hope they're a success, but why is (Gore) actually organizing them? To make us aware of the greenhouse effect? Everybody's known about that problem for years. We are all (expletive) conscious of global warming." Geldolf went on: "I would only organize (Live Earth) if I could go on stage and announce concrete environmental measures from the American presidential candidates, Congress or major corporations. They haven't got those guarantees, so it's just an enormous pop concert or the umpteenth time that, say, Madonna or Coldplay get up on stage." Ouch!Madonna, in the meantime, has reportedly recorded a charity single for the July 7th global concerts. That’s 7 concerts (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Shanghai, China; Tokyo, Japan; Sydney, Australia; Johannesburg, South Africa; London; and New York City via East Rutherford, New Jersey’s Giant Stadium) across 7 continents on 7.7.07. (Anyone feeling lucky?)Madge who went all techno-dance on us with her last record Confessions on a Dance Floor, has apparently turned to her inner-Kabbalah side again. Drownedmadonna.com described the song, titled “Hey You” as “a mid-tempo beat" and nothing like Confessions.The “Material Mom” leads the London all-star line-up for the event, being held at Wembley Stadium. Also on the London bill Red Hot Chili Peppers, Beastie Boys, Genesis, Foo Fighters, Bloc Party, Duran Duran, Snow Patrol, Paolo Nutini, David Gray, John Legend, Black Eyed Peas, Keane, Corinne Bailey Rae, Razorlight, James Blunt, and Damien Rice.If you think this is all a little too similar to the concerts held 2 years back, well, so does that Sir Bob Geldof. He stayed on his high horse and kept babbling to the Dutch paper: "It sounds like Live 8. We're getting lots of responses from people who think we are organizing it." Someone get this knight in shining armor his pacifier.
