Live Earth Thoughts

Published on July 10, 2007 By pseudosoldier In Music

Annoyed by Sirius sattelite radio's incessant teaser coverage for their future radio coverage of a recently past event "for a climate in crisis," I've decided to just jot a few things down...

How much trash/waste did these multiple concerts produce? Did they serve meat at the venues at all? As I sit here eating my pre-packaged frozen dinner (and throwing away the cardboard box, then the plastic wrapper top, then the plastic container)... did they have a lot of bottled water at these places? One bottle per person, maybe?... I wonder if they recycled.

Why is the actual "save the Earth" content kind of buried down the page on this Live Earth site Link? And, honestly, except for the annoying tagline ("for a climate in crisis"), Sirius' mentioning of the event was all about "hey, we're gonna have these performances in our programming real soon!" All the entertainment "news" coverage I've overheard (not actually watched, honestly) has been of the standard "OMG look at what so-and-so wore/sung/did!" There was some talk about how much certain celebrities were excited to be involved in this, but.... eh.

I'm not sure exactly how overblown this event was, but... Hey, this was supposed to be on all 7 continents? Did they play for the penguins in that on picture on the website?

They played some of it on a local radio station here. Does anyone know how much money was raised?

I was only vaguely aware that there was such a thing.

I hear it is going to be part of "Farce of the Penguins II".

If the mess looked like the mess after WOODSTOCK, it will take weeks and countless zillions to clean. hey maybe we can put some Illegal immigrants to work cleaning up.
