Live Earth... really?


Article Found in the Arizona Wildcat newspaper...

"So how is a mega-concert like Live Earth supposed to stop climate crisis? Well, I can tell you how it's not: by coaxing hundreds of thousands of fans to drive or fly to arenas across the globe to see their favorite band in concert; by booking performers and spokespeople, who usually travel with an entourage by private jet or tour bus; and by encouraging viewers to stay inside on a hot summer day, flip on the AC and watch a 22-hour television broadcast while simulcasting the Internet feed from their computer."

The Point: Chill out a little, Andrew, we are trying... We just need to find new ways to connect for a cause.
