Mark your calendar for July 7th, 2007 — you’ve got a date with Al Gore!
Al and about 100 of his most high profile musical artist friends are putting on Live Earth 2007. The LiveAid of the new millenium (yes, I am that old), a powerhouse lineup of music stars has agreed to participate in 24 hours of seven concerts, on seven continents.
Live Earth hopes to engage an audience of more than 2 billion people through concert attendance and broadcasts.
According to CBC News,
The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Snoop Dogg, Bon Jovi, the Foo Fighters, Lenny Kravitz, Sheryl Crow, John Mayer, Duran Duran, Korn, Pharrell, the Black Eyed Peas and Faith Hill are among the performers who will take part.
The 24-hour event is part of Gore’s Save Our Selves — The Campaign for a Climate in Crisis, which aims to bring attention to the need to move away from fossil fuels to prevent catastrophic climate change.
I wonder who agreed to play Antartica?
