Live Earth: Al Gore Invents a Rock Concert

It’s unbelievable how far we’ve come from Al and Tipper Gore’s days of advocating censorship as leaders of the PMRC in the late 1980s.

The former vice president today announced a campaign to make people aware of global warming called Save Our Selves, which will culminate in a live multi-venue concert on 07/07/07 dubbed Live Earth (real original name, Albie).

The simultaneous Live Earth concerts will take place in Brazil, Shanghai, Japan, Johannesburg, London, Sydney, and the eastern half of the United States. And while the full lineup for the event has yet to be announced, the following bands have pledged their participation, according to Rolling Stone:

The Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Foo Fighters, Snoop Dogg, John Mayer, Akon, A.F.I., Fall Out Boy, Tim McGraw, and Faith Hill are among the participating artists being announced at a press conference in Los Angeles today.

You’ll probably see that blurb of information on every music blog in America. But we’re kicking it up a notch: Our sources are telling us The Police will make their triumphant return to the United Kingdom that evening.

3:30 pm update: The Associated Press is reporting the addition of  Melissa Etheridge, Lenny Kravitz, Sheryl Crow, Duran Duran, Korn, Pharrell, the Black Eyed Peas, and Enrique Iglesias. (via Idolator)

    Good for Gore, not being a hypocrite…seriously. And, hey, listening to all the centrist politicians and douchey conservatives jabber on, I thought “global warming” was now called “climate change.”
