Derb, I appreciate the ironies of indigenous folk artistes using satellite communications to caterwaul against modernity, but surely it would be better for Mother Gaia if there were more didgeridoos and fewer synthesizers. Before they started lecturing us about energy consumption, the music business spent most of the last century of popular music humungously expanding their carbon footprint just for the sake of it. Back when Ukulele Ike sang โIโm A Bear In A Ladiesโ Boudoirโ and โSheโs My Sheba (Iโm Her Sheik)โ all he needed was a ukulele. Why couldnโt Snoop Dogg demonstrate his commitment to the environment by having the entire sound system removed and announcing heโll perform โGangsta Walkโ accompained only by himself on the ukulele?
