Live Earth

Overall, I think Live Earth wsa prerty darn good. Obviously, there was the pretty large double standard of trying to be green while having an event of that proportion. But I really LOVED the commercials they had on TV during the airing of it. Most were good messages about saving energy, conserving, etc. I saw them on Bravo and CNBC, can't vouch for any other stations. And I also loved the fact that in addition to the music, they had announcements and good quality messages and suggestions scrolling across the screen in the background of the stages. I will say that there was no new information for me, but for most people I think just alerting them to the fact that there are little things they can do is a step in the right direction.

On the flip side, I think it's a little crazy for some of the stars to get up there and be preachy about conserving when you have people like Kanye West who are about the bling bling and rapping about gold diggers, lol. Another note, I never heard of Akon before, but I was impressed, he was good and didn't seem too thuggish compared to most rappers. Just my first impression of him.
