Kanye West Pollutes The Police

The Police, Kanye West rock Live Earth - Live Earth concert - MSNBC.com

The Police, led by frontman Sting — who along with his wife, Trudie Styler, has been active on environmental issues for years - was the last act to perform in the global concert series. They were joined on stage by John Mayer and Kanye West for a version of "Message in a Bottle."

I caught the Kanye West action during The Police set. To put it bluntly, he really sucks. There needs to be more to music than "uh" and "c'mon, c'mon". Any "raps" that Mr. West had were off tone and a distraction. The Police are one of the greatest bands of all-time and for their desire to seem edgy they really flunked out there. Now everybody "just throw your hands in the air and wave 'em like you just don't care."
