fair enough his money's his own- but i think it's incredibly cheeky to not pay his tax when everyone else who can't afford swanky accountants (and lets face it most ordinary people work quite a bit harder than him) have to.

also if he cared that much he could give a whole lot more to charity and still live a very nice life... yeah that's just my opinion; maybe if i was in his economic position i would keep more than i imagine i would.
just because i think he's a cheeky sod it doesn't change the fact that i still think it's good that he raises the profile of charities and that his efforts encourage others to give.

personally i would rather Ms Cashman's story was true... i rather like the idea of rock stars distributing hats to their employees whilst wearing only their underwear. i suppose my whimsy has clouded my judgement.
it wouldn't be the first time.
