LIVE GREEN

Catch Eco-Tech on the Science Channel starting tonight. The episode that airs today will deal with alternative fuels.

Wow, what an awesome finale to the Live Earth event! THE POLICE - and they played my favorite song of theirs, “Can’t Stand Losing You” along with “Roxanne” and it was amazing to see John Mayer hop onstage with them and play the intro, and help play the rest of “Message In A Bottle” where the message of ’sending out an SOS’ was very appropriate for this event. SOS has been a running theme throughout the day. Rihanna performed her song by that name too.

Al Gore ’s speech at the end was short but sweet. Answer that call! Go to the Live Earth website and take that pledge.

Well, after Melissa Etheridge finally finished her long, drawn out tirade, they showed the Foo Fighters onstage in London. Then Alicia Keys! She’s brilliant.

The 5 research scientists stationed in Antartica who formed a band were pretty good!

By the way, in case you don’t know Morse Code, part of the logo for the Live Earth Concerts is this:

. . . - - - . . . which is “SOS” in Morse Code. Rush has used this concept in song before. Their tune YYZ has a drumbeat in Morse Code. It spells out YYZ.

Bon Jovi’s set was awesome! Lost Highway, Who says You Can’t Go Home, It’s My Life, Livin’ On A Prayer. I have liked this band ever since I saw the video for “Runaway” in 1984. Something told me that this band had what it took and they would go far. Lo and behold, they’ve become one of the biggest names in rock and roll and, in my opinion, opened the floodgates of hard rock back in ‘86 with Slippery When Wet and we all know what a big year that was for so many different rock acts.

Still to come in the big Live Earth show: Roger Waters, The Police and more!

I’m still watching the Live Earth coverage. MTV (which stands for MUSIC television) is playing the reality show “America’s Next Top Model.”  I guess it doesn’t surprise me. eMpTyV hasn’t shown music videos in years. I’m tuned into Bravo Channel and enjoying performances from Fall Out Boy, Akon, Shakira, AFI, XZibit, Ludacris, etc. I’m eagerly awaiting Bon Jovi’s performance - and The Police! 

The Pussycat Dolls were great!

Melissa Etheridge is (and has been) making a long, droning speech during her performance and kept referring to the war, going totally off topic. The war can’t be fought if there’s not a planet to fight it on.

We’ve got to take care of the planet, and it will take care of us!

Check out the Live Earth Concerts and help spread the word so that we can make the world aware and act now to stop the spread of dangerous environmental changes that affect the health of our home, planet Earth.

If you haven’t checked out Al Gore’s film, you simply must!
