It would save a lot of time, money, and carbon if the various performers just dug in their wallets, and everyone stayed at home.

If they do want a pop concert, they should just have one, and be open about it; not pretend that they're doing the world a favour.

Thank **** me and Michael got aff the bus at Kingussie High Street where we had a trained nurse to look after us and guide us from the Star.

The steak pie and chips were excellent too, Liz. Was it a merlot or claret we had with it?

I was at another festival yesterday and it was rockin, i beleive much better that t in the park.

T in the Garden was Rockin!

T in the park is a rock festival that does not pretend to be anything else - which is fine. But Live Earth, and the Diana concert last week are just massive advertising opportunities for carbon junkies and has been rockers (Rod excluded). They make much of the fact they do it for free - but they make much more from increased record sales. I have no respect for them - but what do they care - I'm not buying their records.
And as for Al Gore - does he just have his eye on the White House?

T in the Park - never mind its carbon footprint, it puts the boot into consumers. Here's how:

T was a lovely day out even if my hearing still hasn't returned.

When the announcement about Amy Winehouse's cancellation was made, a ripple of laughter went up through the crowd..."exhaustion" my foot...

If you have got tinnitus, then some part of your hearing has gone forever. It can only get worse.

We accept deafness as normal in old age, yet african bushmen in their 90's have perfect hearing.

Excessive noise makes you impotent as well as deaf. According to your beliefs you can see that as Gods judgement on the wicked or evolution preventing the stupid from reproducing.

I followed the route to T in the Park yesterday and found it very well signposted. I'm not talking about the many signboards. There was no mistaking the route from the amount of beer cartons, beer cans and other detrious littering the verge. The contrast when I turned off at Rumbling Well was like a breathof fresh air. Why can't people have their fun and have a little care for the environment??

#8, yes, I know, shame on sinful me for getting out and enjoying myself amongst friends and good times. I'll remember to stay home with the People's Friend next time.

I like the picture very much, not sure I want to go to rubbish pop concerts anymore.

T in Pitcorthie was much better anyway!

Less Crowded, excellent Djs, Toilets were clean, no mud bath and the banter was tops

"Excessive noise makes you impotent as well as deaf. According to your beliefs you can see that as Gods judgement on the wicked or evolution preventing the stupid from reproducing."

Aye well I've been rocking since the 60s and the tinnitus is well set in but the missus wants to know if there's any chance my impotence will kick in soon... Mind you I think were both a wee bit past the reproduction bit...

The spirit of mud-splattered Glastonbury lives on. I Get Around , but not unfortunately to Balado to see and hear the uniquely-wonderful Brian Wilson. Good Vibrations from all those who made it , no doubt.

The Outsider Festival near Aviemore was the real 'green' festival of the summer - as in most of the people who went there cared about environmental issues as well as the music and the issue was debated rather than sidelined.

As for T vs Live Earth I would rather see the Killers and The View than the bland lineup of usual suspects at the live earth concerts. Only downside (apart from the mud) is having no other choice of beer all weeekend apart from the dreadful Tennents.

Its great to see a concert for something other than AFRICA's plight..Pity its for a non existent problem...

Protect the planet.....hahahahaha! As if there is any danger to begin with. Pathetic

Maybe we should rid society of ALL its technology and go back to a more simpler way of life...Or is that a really stupid idea?

Now imagine a world without posting?

Better to carry on the way we are and let the PC idiots with no real proof or basis for their global warming argument to carry on without us....

Human CO2 emissions causing global warming? Rubbish! Watch "The Great Global Warming Swindle" to learn the REAL truth!

what a load of bitching moanng minnies we have here
your not in the real world

lifes for enjoying get yourselves a tent and get out and about. without a PC. you will leave less of a carbon imprint onyy flattened grass

Live Perth?

Does the Hootsman stable not issue a map along with the journalistic licence accorded to the likes of their Aidan Smiths?

A bit of anal-clenching might be useful when attempting Daily Retard style headlines (call them the O grades) but I realy think a "quality" should not set a low standard and fail to meet it

The continued rapid cooling of the earth since WWII is in accord with the increase in global air pollution associated with industrialization, mechanization, urbanization and exploding population.

-- Reid Bryson, "Global Ecology; Readings towards a rational strategy for Man", (1971)
The battle to feed humanity is over. In the 1970s, the world will undergo famines. Hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now. Population control is the only answer

-- Paul Ehrlich - The Population Bomb (1968)
I would take even money that England will not exist in the year 2000

-- Paul Ehrlich in (1969)
In ten years all important animal life in the sea will be extinct. Large areas of coastline will have to be evacuated because of the stench of dead fish.

-- Paul Ehrlich, Earth Day (1970)
Before 1985, mankind will enter a genuine age of scarcity . . in which the accessible supplies of many key minerals will be facing depletion

-- Paul Ehrlich in (1976)
This [cooling] trend will reduce agricultural productivity for the rest of the century

-- Peter Gwynne, Newsweek 1976
There are ominous signs that the earth's weather patterns have begun to change dramatically and that these changes may portend a drastic decline in food production - with serious political implications for just about every nation on earth. The drop in food production could begin quite soon... The evidence in support of these predictions has now begun to accumulate so massively that meteorologist are hard-pressed to keep up with it.

-- Newsweek, April 28, (1975)
This cooling has already killed hundreds of thousands of people. If it continues and no strong action is taken, it will cause world famine, world chaos and world war, and this could all come about before the year 2000.

-- Lowell Ponte "The Cooling", 1976

Ask Australian wine farmers about how global warming is going to put them all out of business in a few years. Ask that man who's going to swim at the North Pole about global warming, if it's not happening he won't survive. But he will: ergo.

The amount of cars and people and probably cows too have grown enormously over the last 20 years, of course that'll damage the planet and the air that we breathe.

TJS # 9 - Funny, I went exactly the same route yesterday - didn't notice any rubbish - cans or otherwise. - T in the Park = Great Fun.. (yes we are allowed to have it every now and then)

Live Earth was sh*te as so was the Diana Was Whacked concert in the multi billion quid football dump. Has-been acts needing somewhere to perform in-between doing f**k all else. Carbon footprint my erse. Incidentally, that clown Al Gore is an alien shape shifter.

If you were watching BBC Union, you'd have never known that Scotland's biggest music event was underway over the whole weekend. They showed nifty adverts called ' Scotland's Music 07' - it's just they never got round to showing what was advertised suggesting instead that you ‘go online’ (hilarious) ... ahhh... that's right everything was happening in the southern dump... And what little they did show at way past midnight was annoyingly presented by two unknown idiots with English and Australian accents working their ‘lets-f**k-it-script’. It’s nice to see the Scottish licence fee monies going where their needed… London…

Bring on independence…

Thanks for validating everything I thought about Live Earth pop concerts v. Planet Earth! I miss you all...
