Old and irrelevant

"Andy Williams didn't play at Woodstock. He was 41 that summer.

"Ray Charles, then 38, wasn't invited either.

"And at age 52, Dean Martin certainly wasn't.

"So what were John Bon Jovi at 45, Madonna at 48, and Pink Floyd's David Jon Gilmour, 61, doing headlining a rock concert? None of them has had a hit within a decade of the 'Live Earth' concert. ...

"One reason 'Live Earth' was dead last in the TV ratings is the music was irrelevant to the target audience. In fact, music itself is rather irrelevant, what with video games and YouTube getting more action. There is a reason MTV shows so few videos: Nobody watches them.

"The other reason is that Woodstock was not organized by Hubert Humphrey, the immediate past vice president of the United States at the time."
