Tonight, starting at 10 pm, the Live Earth concert begins on various tv channels. It should be a great concert.

Live Earth will reach this worldwide audience through an unprecedented global media architecture covering all media platforms - TV, radio, Internet and wireless channels.

Live Earth marks the beginning of a multi-year campaign led by the Alliance for Climate Protection, The Climate Group and other international organizations to drive individuals, corporations and governments to take action to solve global warming. Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore is the Chair of the Alliance and Partner of Live Earth.

Live Earth was founded by Kevin Wall, the Worldwide Executive Producer of Live 8, an event that brought together one of the largest audiences in history to combat poverty. Wall formed a partnership with Al Gore and the Alliance for Climate Protection to ensure that Live Earth inspires behavioral changes long after 7/7/07.

Live Earth will stage official concerts at Giants Stadium in New York; Wembley Stadium in London; Aussie Stadium in Sydney; Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro; the Coca-Cola Dome in Johannesburg; Makuhari Messe in Tokyo; the Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai; and HSH Nordbank Arena in Hamburg.

Live Earth concerts will be broadcast to a live worldwide audience by MSN at www.LiveEarth.MSN.com.

With support from the U.S. Green Building Council, creators of the LEED Green Building Rating System, Live Earth will implement new Green Event Guidelines. All Live Earth venues will be designed and constructed by a team of sustainability engineers who will address the environmental and energy management challenges of each concert site, as well as the operations of sponsors, partners and other Live Earth affiliates. Each venue will not only be designed to maintain a minimum environmental impact, but will showcase the latest state-of-the-art energy efficiency, on-site power generation, and sustainable facilities management practices.

Live Earth is a project of the SOS campaign , which is using a powerful multimedia platform - films, television, radio, Internet, books, wireless and others - to move people to combat the climate crisis.

Oops, Please forgive me for originally calling this post Live 8. An excited caller had me convinced there was another Live 8 concert being done. Hmmmm, That explains why I never heard of the new Live 8.

I heard that Al Gore has convinced Yusuf Islam aka Cat Stevens to come out of obscurity for this event.

Cat or Yusuf as he now calls himself, is rumoured to play some of his golden oldies with  updated versions..

Expect to hear

But seriously folks..

Live Earth....hmmmmm?

 

reminds me of this Prism song

 

Take Me To The Kaptin

The planet dies and no one cries
So hard to believe
If there was somewhere else to go
You know I'd be the first to leave

I don't mean to sound ungrateful
But I'm afraid that I just can't stay

I had a dream the other night
And as the dream unfurled
I took a trip in a rocket ship
And I found another world

They told me about their Kaptin
Then I asked him "Could I stay?"

I said: Take me to the Kaptin and tell him why I'm here
I want to stay in your world while my world disappears

Won't you take me to the Kaptin and tell him why I'm here
I want to stay in your world while my world disappears

Well, Plaidman, I don't understand politics worth poop. The concert is still in Australia. It sounds good so far.

"As for Feline Stefan, my beef with him or in his case , Pork, is that he condons the Execution Order issued for Salmond Rusdi by the wacco Islamic Radicals."

Are we talkin the same Cat Stevens here?

Yes we are Willie..

He is in the Wanabi Sect of Islam, which produces the vast majority of the Radicals.

According to their radical interpretation of the koran, if you insult islam, which they claim Rusdi did, then death is warranted. 

Some where on the WWW. is a copy of that interview.

Oh for f**k sakes. Now, ain't that the cat's meow? Grrrrr.

I'm off to bed because I'm getting tired and cranky. Plus, I'm out of beer. Good night, Johnboy.

Did he ever inspire The Bare Naked Ladies? Lovers In A Dangerous Time has Bruce Cockburn written all over it. It even sounds like him. If I Had A Rocket Launcher is a great tune.
