Live Earth!

I actually got some email asking why I have not posted her for so long. Just busy I guess.

Saturday, 7,7,07 was Live Earth Day, Concerts all over the planet took place. Some of it was fantastic, and some was, well not to my liking. I watched on my computer and must say that I have found that I liked some that I was not familiar with and in fact enjoyed the day watching and listening to musicians do their thing.

Keith Urban and Alicia Keys jamming to Gimme Shelter was one of the high points, I also enjoyed Damien Rice and David Gray. I dont know how others feel about it, but Roger Waters rocked to some Pink Floyd classics. I bet that many musicians pray that they could have a few songs that they do so well that they never go out of style. Waters has just that with Us and Them and The Wall and Money.

John Meyer is one talent that is going to be around for a long time, he is a great guitarist and to be honest not too many know that he can handle a Strat just as well if not better than his Martin.

Dave Matthews performed as well.

KT Tunstall was good too, I was surprised to see the number of Acoustic guitars.

In Germany, Cat Stevens, Yusuf Islam, performed and I have to say that he is as good as he ever was. He performed Wild World, but not Morning Has Broken, I always like dhis music.

There were many other acts that were more than impressive. I have to admit that it was great to spend the day listening to Live Music.

I do not know how well the Earth message got received, I agree with Mr Gore, something has to be done before it gets much worse, but for some reason concern for the planet has been politicized and it is a shame as the problem is bigger than partisan politics. Hopefully we all can get together before it is too late.

If you get a chance go to liveearth.msn.com and watch the concerts as they are available to watch.
