Those like myself, hoping for some decent music from many talented people will be very disappointed. Too much talking from the entitled rich trying to remain relevant in a world where they have zero importance.
One of the greatest insults was Beyonce telling us that 57% of Covid victims were African-American and were more deserving of our sympathies as though the virus was racist. Either she's suffering from persecution syndrome or from lack of relevance syndrome, thus resorting to empty virtue signalling. The irony was, in the next segment, the plight of the homeless was shown with the first person filmed sitting on the street being a young white man.
I truly hope that in the post Covid world this type of bogus victimization disappears. The people who suffer the most in this world has always been and will always be the poor. Color, sex and religion has nothing to do with it. The virus doesn't discriminate either. A ludicrous suggestion.
There was plenty of other nauseating segments too. I did like the Safety Dance routine and Eddie Vedder playing 'River Cross' solo on the organ. That was all class. Some of the segments on people helping others was nice to see but this was no modern day Live Aid.
Mostly the 'performances' were third-rate. It just goes to prove how much these people rely on a full band, fancy lighting and filming techniques to create their image. Otherwise they are just as empty as their rhetoric.
