Peak Dope: Live Earth – Al Gore’s Chance To Play Bob Geldoff For 24 Hours

Just two summers now since Live 8, and it’s time for a new live, world-wide concert event and a snazzy new cause to go with. This time around the Bob Geldoff role is to be played by Al Gore, though we see no reason, (‘cause there are no reasons) why Geldoff wouldn’t show for the London arm of this big event. But he’s not on the bill at this time. It’s just hard to picture a big show like this without him!

Live Earth is set for July 7 on all the only continents that count – if you’re counting, that’s six. The concert will be televised all over the world and webcast live on MSN. The big line-ups are in New York and London, of course. While Live 8’s cause was to raise awareness of poverty in Africa, Live Earth’s cause is on a much greater scale. The Live Earth goal is in regards to our climate crisis. The smokin’ line-up just may help save Mother Earth. Or at least it will be a great show.
