Hanging up now. No need for self-aggrandizing spotlight hogs who think they are the solution to the world's complex problems.

This was every bit as pointless as last year's Africa concert. Not a soul alive on the planet was unaware of poverty in Africa, and not one left who doesn't know about global climate change (at least, no one who could make a difference). It does nothing to convince skeptics or tamp down alarmists. It is a colossal waste of time and energy (and don't give me any of that carbon offset crap- they could just as well have bought those "offsets" and stayed home, perhaps actually doing a benefit instead of neutralizing their ongoing persuit of celebrity).
