After the gold rush

Well, it's been a few days since the big Live Earth concerts -- the Earth has had a few days to recover from the damage that all those jet-setting musicians, junk food eating tourists, and electricity hungry high-powered amplifiers inflicted on it.



Did you watch it? It happened to be my birthday that day, so I had more important things to do with my time. I saw a little bit of Keith Urban and Alicia Keyes doing an old Rolling Stones tune, and a bit of Lenny Kravitz -- but that was all. I heard that Maddona is still in her "leotard wearing, '70s porno queen" phase, and as a result felt the need to simulate a sex act with a guitar, while telling the crowd to jump up and down to save the planet. OoooooKaaaay -- Madonna turns 50 in 2 years. How many of you have Mom's that old? How many of you want to see your mom dressed as a whore and masturbating herself in public with a musical instrument? How many of you feel really really sorry for Lourdes, Rocko, and the new kid?



The spokesman for a company that takes money from rich people to make them feel less guilty about polluting said it would take planting 100,000 trees to mitigate the damage done to the earth by this concert. Of course, remembering that his company lives on hypocrisy among the wealthy, he quickly added that the publicity of the event was a good thing.



Sure...
