A rundown of Live Earth

I'm of a mixed mind about yesterday's 7.7.07 global Live Earth concerts.

On one hand, I'm very strongly pro Earth ("anti devestation" as David St. Hubbins so eloquently put it), but on the other hand, I'm turned off by sanctimonious pop stars who go by one name trying to "raise conscousness" for something most of us are already conscious of (global warming).

Here are youtube links for a lot of the Live Earth rock, with only some of the talk. Grab them while they're hot. And save our Earth before it's too hot, because it's the only planet we have.

Crowded House - Fall At Your Feet (from Sydney)
Genesis - Turn It On+ Land of Confusion (from London)
The Police - Message In a Bottle (from East Rutherford)
Roger Waters - Money, In The Flesh (from East Rutherford)

And an entire set so glorious that deserves it's own embedded
player from the loud (and punctual) Spinal Tap.




I'd never heard of them before, but Sneaky Sound System rocks.

And according to Fox News, Live Earth including Yusuf Islam on the bill at Wembley shows Al Gore's true allegiance to Al Quaeda. I guess they do have the same first name. Maybe it is a wild world?
