I woke up this morning rather early for a Saturday, at 7:00 am. I tried to go back to sleep, but the truth is I’d be up by 8:00 anyway, so I begrudgingly rolled over and turned on the TV. I was greeted by the Live Earth Concert on Bravo.
You can check out the site for yourself for a lits of all the artists preforming and while the music is entertaining I actually find their informational segments in between concerts much more interesting. Like for example, did you know that Ed Begley Jr. is Hollywood’s most eco-friendly resident? I’m not kidding, he’s got his own line of eco-friendly cleaning products.
Fascinating isn’t it?
I really appreciate the theme of this concert. Raising awareness about global warming is an important issue to champion and I’m glad to see all these artist giving their time to help commemorate that spirit.
But am I the only one that wonders how genuine they all are? I mean, come on. Most of these guys live in Mc-Mansions with their in home theater system, duel ovens and sub-zero refrigerators in their stat-of the art kitchen. The drive the latest from Mercedes, BMW, and Bentley and have the 6 car garage to prove it.
Maybe I’m being overly critical. Who am I to judge someone for living the good life. Yet I still have a hard time having environmental messaging shoved down my throat from a guy that arrived in a Hummer Limo.
None-the-less, I’m gonna keep watching. I really like the music and I have learned some interesting things (Begley’s best intrigues me, perhaps a purchase will be made). I’ll keep you guys posted if anything really interesting happens.
