So I caught a bit of that series of concerts "for a climate in crisis". I applaud all involved in the project, and hope that it accomplishes to get the word out, especially on what we can do as individuals to help bring about change. The following blog came to my mind while in the midst of feeling "sassy"...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First, it was great to see Genesis perform. But I don't remember when John Locke from Lost joined the band as lead singer! Damn those Others! They're behind this, I just know it!

Also great to hear Another Brick in the Wall performed live. When you hear that guitar solo, even if you just tuned in at that moment, you know exactly what's playing. A definite classic.

My personal favourite highlight was Duran Duran's set. No surprise there to anyone who knows me! They played Planet Earth, Girls on Film, and Notorious (thankfully Tori Spelling couldn't make it for a cameo!). I did wish they would have played Hungry Like the Wolf and changed some lyrics for the occasion:

He was vice-president some time ago...Now he's known as "The Climate's 'Ho"...
Dudududoo dududoo dududoo doodoo...
He did a film call "An Inconvenient Truth"...The DVD sales are going through the roof...
Dudududoo dududoo dududoo doodoo...
In touch with nature, and with himself...he's on the hunt, he's after you...
He's friends with Flipper...whatever happened with Tipper?...cuz we're Hungry for Al Gore....

Ahem.

Other performances that kicked: Black Eyed Peas, Bon Jovi, Madonna... hell, even that performance from Antartica. But that's just because of the penguins who took time from their feeding to sit in and enjoy the concert!

So what did you all think?
