GORILLAZ star DAMON ALBARN is fed-up of "hypocritical" rock stars who campaign
for human rights, because he believes they are only increasing their own star
power.
Albarn, who is currently establishing a charity programme to bring British and
African musicians together, is becomingly increasingly irritated by stars in-
cluding SIR BOB GELDOF, BONO and RADIOHEAD frontman THOM YORKE.
He says, "Radiohead - I'm not going into anyone, but bands who care about
certain things then go on one-and-a-half-year stadium tours are just total
hypocrites. "
In one sense you've got this developing humanist thing that's coming out of
you, which is great.
"Then you're creating these massive impersonal events where you set yourself up
as the subject of thousands of people's adoration. Where's the humanity in
that? That's just idolatry. "
You can't question Geldof's passion. But him and Bono - if you're so interested
and care about Africa, think about the people, see them as neighbours.
"Be interested in what they are interested in and don't impose your own ideas.
It's imperious, it really is."
