In my view the “Live Earth” fiasco was a huge waste of time and resources, and was largely hyposcrisy on parade presented by the likes of the idiot Al Gore and the super-narcissistic Madonna. Still it is fun to watch Spinal Tap do a couple classic numbers. I have the impression that the whole Wembley event would have not been such a yawner if they gave Tap 2 hours to play, instead of 15 minutes.

“Talk about mud-flaps, my girl’s got em!”
