Besides being quite talented, they have some refreshing common sense:

Pet Shop Boys singer Neil Tennant has spoken out against this summer's Live Earth concerts.

Tennant has also hit out against Bono for his politically active role.

He said: "The Princess Diana concert is fair enough, but I feel more uneasy about the Al Gore thing.

"I've always been against the idea of rock stars lecturing people as if they know something the rest of us don't - it looks arrogant.

"It's not as if they have a private source of information. To state the obvious as if you are the only person that knows it is intellectually weak."

Precisely.
