Live Earth.

So it's a bunch of concerts to combat global warming?
How do all of the concertgoers get to the venues?
I know they encourage you to carpool, but it's not like there's any carpool lanes in New Jersey to make people want to do it. And even if you carpool, you're still releasing gases into the air.
I love how Al Gore said, "Repeat after me," when he was saying that pledge, but he said it quickly and didn't stop. The people must've been confused.
Oh well, they don't usually broadcast concerts on television, so I'm watching, even though I'm not interested in any of the performers (sans Paolo Nutini, Fall Out Boy, and Linkin Park and any of the other Japanese performers - though I doubt they'll broadcast Koda Kumi on American television)

Those "Answer the Call" cuts annoy me though. You know nobody is really going to do that stuff.

I'd get into how global warming is likely a natural thing, but I can't really defend myself because I'm not too educated about that crap. I forgot all of the stuff I learned writing my global warming report in January, but I remember Mr. Mulligan mentioning that - it's going to happen anyway.

At least Live 8 made more sense. They stole the name.

(It's so cool for me to think about the Giants Stadium one though - I passed by it today going to Lowe's and I was like, "Wow, Fall Out Boy is probably over there." Thinking about it now, it's more, "Zach Braff is within reasonable driving distance from me!" I'm such a fangirl.)

[edit] I wish I had posted this at 7:07, but alas, it was around 8. Once I found out it was already 8, I was like, crap, that's not gonna happen for another 100 years. Oh well.

Everybody steals! Live 8 was taken from Live Aid. I just think it was just supposed to raise awareness on a global scale like the other "Live" concerts. They probably encourage mass transit, and they'll most likely offset any carbon output from the concerts such as by planting trees, etc. But yeah, I get what you are talking about -- not everyone is gonna care and most people in the U.S. are probably gonna drive.
