Dueling Promoters
(Fox News) - The man who organized the "Live Aid" concerts to help feed the hungry back in 1985 is not happy with Al Gore's plan to stage his "Live Earth" concerts this summer to fight global warming.
Bob Geldof tells a Dutch newspaper that while the names are similar, too similar, he says, there's one big difference — the Gore concerts have no specific purpose.
Geldof says: "Why is Gore actually organizing them? To make us aware of the greenhouse effect? Everybody's known about that problem for years. We are all ... conscious of global warming."
Geldof says he would only organize the shows if there was something important to announce. Otherwise, he says, "it's just an enormous pop concert."
