Thoughts about Live Earth
- Nice job, NBC, playing a commercial over Melissa Etheridge's performance of "I Need to Wake Up," which is basically the theme song of the freaking concert. (I'm only half-way through Universal HD's 22 hours of HD coverage, so maybe they won't blow it.)
- Madonna's performance of "Hung Up" was one of the hottest things I have ever seen.
- The inflatable pig flying over the audience during Roger Waters' performance of "Another Brick in the Wall" looked very angry. Is he angry about climate change, or still bitter that Pink Floyd broke up?
- The Antarctica researchers singing to a couple of penguins (OK, so there were really other researchers) was very cool. Luckily they had a band, or the concert would only have covered six continents.
- Phil Collins is now an exact twin of John Locke from Lost. Creepy.
- Bob Geldof has stated that the concert was a "waste of time." Apparently only "Sir Bob" gets to decide which causes are deserving of such efforts. Get over yourself.
- I would have preferred just the Police, instead of the Police and Kanye West. (Was that rhythm guitarist even born when the Police broke up?)
