Everything In Its Place

I was so entranced by the Live 8 concert last year that I had a hard time NOT watching it. Before seeing it, I had never heard of having a 24hr concert on tv, not to mention one that spans the globe. Amazing! They got their point across for sure. I hope it did some good.

This year (scheduled July 7th) it's Live Earth, and the concert focuses on global warming.

From the site:

"SOS-Save Our Selves is designed to trigger a mass-scale movement to combat our climate crisis. Our climate crisis affects everyone, everywhere. That's who SOS is aimed at. The magnitude of the climate crisis makes it so that only a global response can begin to address it. SOS asks all people to Save Our Selves because only we can.

SOS will reach people in every corner of the planet through television, film, radio, the Internet and through Live Earth, which will bring together more than 150 of the world's top musicians for 24-hours of music from 7 concerts across all 7 continents. Live Earth alone will engage an audience of more than 2 billion people. That audience, and the proceeds from the concerts, will create the foundation for a new, multi-year global effort to combat the climate crisis led by Vice President Al Gore."

Sounds promising. Maybe we'll learn something while we're being entertained. (which is probably the point, eh?)

Are you going to watch?
