Former U.S. Vice-President, Al Gore has become a celebrity in recent years through a process of nagging the world about climate change. If that sounds like a dreary way to attain fame, the global Live Earth concerts he organized proved it to be the case.

A lot of people were put off by the “carbon footprints” of the performers and the excessive use of bad language at times when children would be watching.

Also, fewer people are now convinced by the self-serving views of the climate change lobby. In other words, this charity concert was controvertial.

The lineup of the London gig was good, but a bit tired :

Without the uncontrovertial zing of the previous week’s Concert for Diana, the whole project just went belly up.

Sorry, Al. Better luck next time.
