I've got better things to do with my life than watch telly for several hours, listening to music, a lot of which I am probably not that keen on. The music that I do like I have in my collection already.
Anyway, it wasn't aimed at me - it was aimed at the people at Gleneagles who make the decisions.
I saw an interesting snippet on the BBC news during the week. Joss Stone was doing an interview, and she pretty much admitted that she didn't really understand why she was doing it.
If the rest of the similar age performers were of similar mind, it pretty much renders it useless, does it not?

How do you discover you like anything new if you stick with what you already know ?
I read an interview with eighteen year old Joss Stone, who wasn't even born in '85. In it she said she knew very little about the original concept behind Live Aid, just as 20 years before l was born, l knew very little about the end of WW II.
Yesterday was about education.
