Live Earth

"Live Earth's success will be measured not by the number of trees the initiative plants or the number of energy-efficient light-bulbs sold as a result, but by whether it motivates concertgoers to make climate-change their generation's political priority, and press their leaders to act on it. Al Gore and company deserve credit for putting forth a 7-point pledge for concertgoers that includes a demand that countries join an international treaty mandating a 90% cut in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. That will only happen if voters reward politicians who fight to cut carbon gas emissions, and punish those who don't." Time

Do something. Change a damn lightbulb. Turn off the water when you brush your teeth. Vote for a Democrat, for god's sake. It ain't that complicated.

Oh, yeah, the music was good too. Sting still sounds great. Jon Bon Jovi can still command a crowd. Alicia Keys is very talented and gorgeous to boot. John Mayer is cute as can be; he really does look 16.
