But is anybody really surprised by all this? Ever since John Lennon appeared on Top of the Pops singing "Imagine no possessions" sitting in his luxury mansion in the Surrey stockbroker belt, it's been obvious that, no matter how great their musical talents, no one should regard pop stars' views on world affairs with the slightest degree of credibility. The sad thing is that the opposite has happened and the likes of Bono, Geldof etc have been eagerly courted by world leaders, instead of being told to shut up and get on with making records, touring and all the other things that pop stars do.

Half these stars would be flipping burgers at Macdonalds if they couldn't sing or play an instrument, would you take advice on global warming from your local burger flipper?
