Rockin’ For Planet Earth


I was so glad I was online some moments ago that I become timely informed about a grand event scheduled this coming Sunday—-Former U.S. Vice-President Al Gore and Kevin Wall of the historic Live 8 concerts are staging a similar huge musical undertaking in Live Earth where about 150 artists would be performing in venues stretching across the globe, from New Jersey to Johannesburg, in a lengthy 24 hour period.



In Live 8, rock bands like U2 and artists like Sting came forth to hark about G8’s seeming indifference to the economic havoc occuring in Africa. This time around, they’d be priming the worldwide public with global warming awareness, pronouncing to consumers around the world how they can help minimize and diminish the threat of greenhouse gasses to our environment. It would be so fascinating to see the numerous documentaries that are scheduled to be exhibited while the concert progresses.



Whether we like it or not, the effects of global warming is already being materially felt in our world today with the onset of unusual weather behavior, rising temperatures, melting polar ice, depleting rainforests and many other symptoms of a tapering environmental condition.



It’s about time to heed the call of the times. It’s about time that we become palpably aware of the ruminations of our environment. It’s about time we should listen to the murmurs of our Planet Earth—-for as they say, we only have one Earth and none other.



I have not become so particular aware about the exact schedule of the Live Earth concert and the local television station that would carry it. Since the concerts are slated Saturday in the states, it would be Sunday morning here. Last time around, Studio 23 carried the lengthy and highly-enjoyable Live 8 concerts and it might similarly bring Live Earth to our shore this time. For those who have high-speed connections, MNSBC would be streaming it live straight to your monitors.



See you at the concert.
