The music at the Japan show is live on the net, some acts that I would never see. I can't understand a word that they are singing. But I am sure it's about Fast Cars and Fast Women! Some killer bands.

'private jets for climate change' -- These guys bribe the lame - the uber "stressed for stimulation types" who would shown up for any music and show.
The rant could have been to free baby fish from pet stores or to keep markets free. They wouldn't have cared.
It's the western version of "rent a crowd"...

" . . . installing solar panels in a developing country." Said solar panels being made out of pixie dust in the pixie factory and transported across the globe by same.
Idiots.

Each Australian Live Earth ticket comes with a free public transport voucher, while all the bathrooms will be waterless with waste being composted into fertiliser.Ewwwwwww...can they do that? What about the people running the concession stands...don't they have to "wash their hands before returning to work"? Can human waste be composted? Inquiring mind here.

John Rego, the environmental director of Live Earth, says he expects to purchase at least 3,000 tonnes of carbon credits to off-set the event. It is believed the organisers will spend in excess of £1million on carbon offsetting to counter criticism.
Rego explains: "All the events are carbon neutral. We have chosen a reforestation and reagricultural project in Mozambique. It is a credible certifiable carbon-diffused project. We are in the process of purchasing a carbon offset." That all seems pretty complicated. I think the United States government should provide these offsets (by bombing Iran's refineries and power stations).

I just wanted to say to all of you that I think your responses are great! Thank you for showing me that some people still have common sense, as well as a sense of humor (though Al Gore sure isn’t a very funny topic).

Well, they might not be eating as much, nor excreting as much CO2 because they wouldn’t be yelling and screaming....;-)
