Lizzie you just stated:

"Er...I never said I wanted them to stand and talk politics, merely sing some songs that have a little more meaning to them, that's all. Keep your hair on.. ;0) "

And about two posts afterwards said:

"And..just imagine, IF Bellowhead had given out the phone number of the Embassy of Brazil in London, explaining to their audience about Belo Monte and the further SIXTY dams that Brazil is planning in the Rainforest"

...they're supposed to sing this information are they?

Also, instead of expecting and dictating what other people should be doing to get the message out, why don't you start your own band/pick your own songs/write your own lyrics/write novels/ etc. and spread the message?

Why do you think that anyone cares about this stuff?

Don't get me wrong, I do care about the state of our planet and the terrible things that happen, but I go to gigs to relax and chill out and forget, just for an hour, about all the shitty things that are happening- the last thing I'd want is the bloody band preaching to me! I'd go to church id I wanted that.

The truth is, people KNOW about these things already. We are an educated society. We have the internet, we have the TV, the radio- we hear about all of these things every day. People will decided for themselves whether they are going to help make a change or not.

Also, your point-scoring is getting really old and pathetic. We get it, you like Home Service and you dislike Bellowhead- that's fine, but the reminders are getting irritating.
