Stupid article.

Most environmentally unfriendly because their fans will travel distances to see them?

Eat me.

No HGTtG reference yet?

This makes me feel much better. I wasn't that my band was stuck playing clubs and theaters, traveling with five guys crammed in a van, we were actually being green and keeping a low carbon footprint.

I try to teach my wife tantric shopping. That's when you go to the mall for 6 hours but don't buy anything.

I've been calling that guy "Stink" for years.

When I saw them, there were a ton of fellow concert attendees who were using light rail, so perhaps this 'expert' study is pulling things out of their ass...

FTFA: Their biggest green crime, according to experts, isn't their love of fast cars, country mansions or jets - but the massive environmental toll of their gigs their entire musical output.

Like I really needed another reason to hate The Police.

Sting's wife's boobs look really weird in that picture.

Dave Matthews Band in second place?

So this Buckly idiot is blaming the Police for playing Live Earth at Giants Stadium... makes no sense.

Although Buckly had a point, one of the biggest knocks on Giants Stadium is that public transportation there is very poor. That will be corrected in a few years with the new stadium and the redesigned transportation hub that comes with it.

FTFA Pete Doherty also won praise

But the Police are dirty?
/don't get it

Look at his wife- no wonder he wants to get back out on the road again. She'll be at home, ordering around the maids and butlers while he's boffing the latest offering of super-models and starlets.

Neil Young travels around hauling his equipment with trucks that burn biofuel. At least he puts his money where his mouth is. Sting just talks a good game.

I like how the praise that dumb druggy for playing acoustic. Cause.. at sow acoustic guitars are never plugged in ever... it's totally no the same farking effect as just playing an electric as far as the environment goes.. no not at all...

Goddamnit, what is it with macs and me simply not being able to type properly on them?!?

I was about to snark, but you caught yourself.

Am I the only one who thinks he could have done much better?

I think we saw them at the same time!

/that means were cool!

I thought his name was Stingy.

nope, been saying that since the 80s.

This article is made for the ASININE tag...

Why would a band plan their tour based on their carbon footprint? Who thinks like that?

Yes. Sting's wife looks like an alien.

Tell me about it! It's entertainment for crying out loud! What isn't wasteful about putting on a rock'n roll show? I guess in the grand scheme of things some shows/tours are somewhat less wasteful than others, but really, as far as entertainment choices go, big arena shows are incredibly wasteful on every level. But they're so cool, and they're so much damn fun,

I remember when I used to work arena shows years ago, a friend of mine looked at me and said, "you know, when they start rounding up the really useless people and shooting them, we'll be first in line." I agreed, but only for him.
