Scorched Earth Concert Running Thread.

Shakira can't sing.

And she doesn't have to.

 

She's been a popular dead pool contestant ever since that one big hit she had in 2000.

 

Who cares

On the MSNBC on line version she takes her shirt off at the end of song

 

What has happened to Kelly Clarkson. It appears she has answered one too many calls for dinner.

 

It looked like the DC show was held with a picnic table as a stage.

 

Disagree. She can sing. Most of the time, we just don't notice.

 

When you get home I want to screw this in and see if it really works.

 

From the Washington Post, from the concert in London:

John Buckley of Carbon Footprint, an organization that helps companies reduce their carbon dioxide emissions, said Saturday that Live Earth will produce about 74,500 tons of the gas.

"We would have to plant 100,000 trees to offset the effect of Live Earth," he said, speaking by telephone. But, he added, "if you can reach 2 billion people and raise awareness, that's pretty fantastic."

Certainly, on the way into the show, some of the 65,000 people who'd spent $110 on a ticket appeared unaware of the seven-point pledge that Al Gore, the event's chief impresario, had asked all spectators to make. Asked about it, they offered blank looks and said they were there for Madonna (whose annual carbon footprint, according to Buckley, is 1,018 tons -- about 92 times the 11 tons an average person uses per year).

 

Got to see the Chili Peppers, Linkin Park and Ludacris before going to work tonight. Needless to say, good TV.

 

Yeah, good point. Too bad Frank's not with us anymore, I'm sure he'd have something to say about Al and Tipper going brown bunny with all these heathen rockers.

Come to think of it, Sting had some very frank comments abut Tipper and her anti-rock goons back in the day but he must have forgotten all about that.

Anyone else get the idea that Kanye West had never heard "Message In A Bottle" before jumping onstage with the Police?

 

that was an all-time worst rock 'n' roll moment right there

 

Just my luck: that was the only part I saw. I shut it off pretty much immediately.
