Agreed, it's not so much Diana herself, but the fuckers who adore her and
her legend so much ... for fucks sake, get a grip you cunts ... as for
Madonna, anyone who prided themselves in singing about being a material girl
and such matters has no place on a stage about tackling climate change ...
it's utter nonsense ... it is though quite appropriate that Extremities is
being re-released late this year as Killing Joke and maybe Midnight Oil were
the only relatively mainstream bands continually harping on about such
issues throughout the late 80s and early 90s ... I'm not suggesting that we
are all pious, high and mighty about it all (though I do like a bit of
recycling at home but that's about it) ... but most of those who will be
"involved" over the weekend are probably the worst offenders of all ...
