Let's all attend a hippy concert!

I'm listening to The Beatles' "All you need is love"(apparently it is a hippy anthem and I can see why) as I think about tomorrow's LiveEarth concert. Alright I'm typing this 3 in the morning so most of this won't really make sense.

Seriously, what better way to reverse the process of global warming, than to have 9 mega concerts in the span of a day? Applause please.

Oh, I'm so fucking sure it doesn't use up electricity(which coincidentally produces quite a heck lot of carbon dioxide), noise pollution, and litter. These new age hippies and the celebrities that they whoreship believe that a concert can teach people to reduce, reuse and recycle. Who are you trying to kid? If these celebrities really care about the environment. Why don't they turn off their porch lights in their multi-million dollar mansions at night? Or sharing a bus with the public when on tour instead of taking that fancy private jet? What do they know about global warming, they sleep in air conditioned rooms for fuck's sake.

I'm not saying that they are hypocrites, most of them have good intentions. But let's face it, we are all selfish and self righteous. Whatever we learn during the concerts will be forgotten within weeks, and life will return to "normal". Recycle? Nah, it's easier to throw them into the normal bin(selfish, well at least I'm not littering(self righteous).

And of course, it's so easy to say that the celebrities are doing it for the environment, but have anyone thought of the potential fame and fortune from album sales and endorsements that they are going to receive thanks to their new "I <3 Earth" image? You can say that I am being a pessimist, but do think about it. Doesn't it all make sense?

This LiveEarth concert is a old concept, go back to Woodstock in 69(Jimi Hendrix) when all the hippy bands and their followers wanted to screw corporate globalization , reduce global pollution, chill out and smoke weed. Guess what? The corporations are still controlling us like puppets! YAY! This LiveEarth is doing the exact same thing. Instead of not getting a job and smoke weed all day long(rage against the machine), we are not supposed to waste electricity(rage against the PUB). Deja Vu huh!

Here's what I suggest: Get these "influential" celebrities(Hey if a few emo bands out there can influence a fraction of the generation to turn emo, they can do anything man!), knock some sense into the governments around the world that factories and deforestation is the cause of all this problems. Get the companies who are responsible to clean this shit up. And we can all save the earth a whole lot faster, because this gig feels a lot like one of those corny donation drives on TV. The celebrities can also donate more money(looking Madonna's mansion, she should) into companies that are researching anti-polluting products or anything related to that, because this concert could potentially harm the environment more!

We, as normal people, should also care more about the environment. LiveEarth is a gimmick, and it will probably harm the environment as well, heck I hope it works out and many people change their lifestyle(highly doubt it will though). But screw it, it's not like you'll care when you sleep in your air conditioned caccoons(I can proudly say this 'cause I do not use one).

PLEASE! I beg all of you! Do not remember about global warming a few days before and after LiveEarth every year. I want to stop perspiring when I sleep.

Let's make this world a better place.
