"It makes me mad when people try to use politics or charity for publicity."

Says AC/DC's singer Brian Johnson to Melbourne's Herald Sun. "When I was a working man I didn't want to go to a concert for some bastard to talk down to me that I should be thinking of some kid in Africa. I'm sorry mate, do it yourself, spend some of your own money and get it done. It just makes me angry."

Johnson said that his own band prefers to make their charitable contributions in private.

"Do a charity gig, fair enough, but not on worldwide television," he said.

AC/DC turned down a slot at Live Aid in 1985.

"I do it myself, I don't tell everybody I'm doing it," Johnson said. "I don't tell everybody they should give money - they can't afford it."

Good for him. He was referring to celebrities We are all getting sick of. One of the worst is U2's Bono. Recently it was revealed that his charity ONE, named after that shitty song, had given around ONE percent of it's donations to actual charity.

The nonprofit took in $14,993,873 in public donations in 2008, the latest year for which tax records are available.

Of that, $184,732 was distributed to three charities, according to the IRS filing. That's about ONE percent.

8 Million was spent on salaries. The rest was spent on things like filling gift bags for celebrities with expensive crud at events filled with famous do-gooders showing the rest of the world what great people they are. Celebrities favorite method of proving their worth is the liberal's classic "raising awareness."

Of course there is also the other charity with his name attached to it, Global Fund:

The Associated Press reported today that the $21.7 billion Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria is a fraud where at least two-thirds of the funds were “pocketed,” and donated medicines were sold on the black market for profit.

The prestigious development fund is backed by celebrities like Bono, politicians like French president Sarkozy, and a cool $150 million from Bill and Melinda Gates. The AP wrote, “The fund has been a darling of the power set that will hold the World Economic Forum in the Swiss mountain village of Davos this week.”

I don't mean to pick on Bono, there are plenty of other jackasses who like to tell us how we should live. Al Gore is another favorite of mine. His electric bill is a perfect example of what one should expect from an asshole not only telling people how to live, but trying to legislate how we live.


In 2006 Gore's gas and electric bill for his 20 room mansion was more than 20 times the national average. In one month his house burns twice as much as the average family burns a year. His heated pool alone is $500.

Same with Sting and his multiple mansions. The Eco warrior and Human Rights campaigner also played for Uzbekistan's Islam Karimov. Enemies of the brutal Dictator have been shot in the street and one political opponent boiled alive, Yes, boiled alive.

So thank you Brian Johnson. I hope you enjoy your well earned millions. And as a paying concert goer once heckled Barbara Streisand after a long anti-Bush diatribe...

Please, SHUT THE FUCK UP AND SING!
