I hate that Bonnaroo traffic! And doesn't at least one person die (of drugs) there every year?
To: Sub-Driver
I'm sure they are planning on using hybrid semi's and buses to move all the gear/performers from place to place.

Some thoughts on this:
Gore says these concerts will be even bigger than the Live Aid concerts!! And we all remember how much good those concerts did, don't we? As with so many liberal and self-obsessed things, it isn't really about impact- it is about intention or the appearance of caring. I don't know if the USA paid any attention to the 20th Anniversary Live Aid concerts (I was in the UK and it was a hugh event that every media outlet fawned over) but they at least acknowledged (Geldoff, Bono) that much of the $ and food from the first one never made it to the people it was intended. The big goal of the anniversary concerts wasn't to raise money, but awareness. In other words, we can't be held accountable for actually having an impact.
I agree that China is indeed an odd place to hold this "SOS" concert. I'd kind of hate to be the first one standing in line for tickets in Tianeneman Square. Will they televise panoramic shots of crowd and surroundings Given the somewhat murky Chinese air (due to pollutants)? Will their be banners in the crowd proclaiming "Carbon (Regulation) Free!!"? Looks like they'll have to throw a whole lot of cheap, dirty coal on the fire to make enough electricity for this event. Also, China is a long, long flight for any of the noted performers )and one I'm content to never make again).
South Africa? Are they going to play Sun City? Better not let Little Steven know. Will Winnie Mandela's guards be providing security?
Also, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill? Tell me it ain't so...

They've had both good and bad years. One year, they had three deaths while last year, there was just one, which happened outside of the grounds, when a kid ran out onto Interstate 24 and was hit by Ricky Scaggs' tour bus.

The concerts on seven continents will bring newfound publicity to Gore Does that mean they'll be playing on Antarctica? That can't be very environmentally sound.

It should be named "The Giant Carbon Footprint Concert".
To: Sub-Driver
Why don't these liberals use this concert money to help Katrina victims?
But then that would make sense and we're talking about liberals.
To: VRWCmember
Yes, but I suspect we can expect an unseasonably cool period on the 7th of July, as history tends to repeat itself.

Notice the day of the concert: 07-07-07. It has a New Age witchcraft symbolism to it.

Oh yeah, drugged up rockers, just the folks to tell the rest of the world how to live. Algore is a joke/jokster all rolled into one.

It will be the dead of winter on those continents south of equator.

The concerts on seven continents will bring newfound publicity to Gore, who already is enjoying celebrity status with his Oscar-nominated documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth." The concerts on seven continents will leave a bigger "carbon footprint" than most large US cities leave in a year.
But they will all really care and that's all that matters to environmental whackos isn't it? That and, of course, the money that they bring in.

Now its Climate Change. Global Climate Change is so much more useful of a theory than Global Cooling (in vogue in the 70s) or Global Warming (in vogue in the 90s).
Is it warmer today than average? It is because of Global Climate Change caused by Bush and those damned SUVs.
Is it cooler today than average? Global Climate Change.
Is it wetter, dryer, windier, less windy, sunny, cloudy ... you name it. Whatever the weather happens to be on anywhere at any time, it is because of Global Climate Change.

If he loses some weight and gets back the "handsome" look...I think he's got a real shot.
Before I get flamed...there's a lot of Amurricans who go for style over substance.
I will go on record now. I think he has 2008 locked up.
