Ever try to organize a charity event with some of the biggest acts in the music industry? Neither have I, but it doesn’t sound pleasant. Take for instance Madonna. On her list of demands for Saturday’s Live Earth show in London are: “12 dozen boxes of strawberries, eight full-length mirrors, a skipping rope, Yorkshire Tea, organic green tea, and vanilla room spray.”
Then add other top acts like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Keane, and Snow Patrol all looking for decent billing. You’ve got yourself one big fat headache. All for the good of the earth.
Even the audience is complaining before they’ve even gotten there. There won’t be any burgers at the show since burgers cause global warming (that’s news to me, too), and that’s upsetting some people who’ve shelled out over a $100 for tickets and feel entitled to a burger. But PETA said that serving meat at the show would be like “selling cigarettes at an anti-cancer fundraiser.”
Well, it’s obvious that those concertgoers don’t really care about the environment otherwise they’d all be vegetarians! Now what if Madonna wanted a cheeseburger?
