Watch out, Bono! New generation rock stars are coming on strong with political advice.
RADIOHEAD singer Thom Yorke now says that he is ashamed to be a member
of the Western world -
believing NATO's attacks on Serbia to be disgraceful.
Speaking at Sunday night's Tibetan Freedom Concert in Amsterdam, the CAPITOL
RECORDS singer
refused to celebrate NATO's victory, which he sees as a hypocritical war
in the light of NATO's human
rights history.
Yorke unloaded: "Even though at the moment everybody's waving the flag,
in Britain I'm profoundly
ashamed of their actions, simply because I don't see what right NATO had
to do what it did.
"The re-write of history going on is incredible, and I find it extremely
unnerving. In 1949 Britain turned a
blind eye when China invaded Tibet. How can a government claim to work
for the people yet never ever
listen to them.
"I'm totally ashamed to be part of the West, the way they've dealt with the rest of the world."
The crowd reacted strongly to Yorke's NATO comments."
