You Rock: Annie Lennox

So, not only has she one of the most incredible voices I have ever laid my ears on, nor has she provided the world with some of the best songs of my time, and some of the best music videos of my adolescence, but she is also an advocate of peace:

I don't believe that you can ever solve the problem of terrorism by acts of brutal retaliatory violence. I think the so-called war on terror is scandalous because it is a cover-up, and not a solution. It is in fact America's second Vietnam. I do not believe the Iraqi people are being liberated. They are being destroyed. I do not believe the planet can continue ad infinitum with our endless exploitation of its natural resources. I do not believe that human beings have ever created a political structure which works for the benefit of all, rather than the few.

She's ageing well too - no plastic fantastic there..
