"If we protect the world, the world will protect us." - Live Earth
HELLO! After spending almost 12 hours in front of the television set watching Live Earth, I've come to realise that the time spent supposedly to support raising the awareness of Global Warming could have been used to revise for my upcoming tests. And I'll explain why.
First, some of the bands/performances that played Live Earth were really horrendous. Rize? WTF!! The damn vocalist pointed his damn MIDDLE FINGER on GLOBAL TELEVISION. How the hell is raising awareness about global warming got to do with lousy metal bands and their half naked vocalists pointing middle finger. What an embarrassment to Tokyo, especially to the organisers for that matter. Must have lost their minds when they decided to invite such a band to an environmental-awareness concert.
Second, major artists like Pussycat Dolls, Linkin' Park do not seem to have understood the meaning of such events. I really do not want to continue critisizing because they have supported the cause and that is what counts. Their appearance on the programme is already a big boost to the Live Earth organisation. Let's not hope, but act in unity to save Earth. I really believe that Global Warming is the cause of all this havoc in the world.
There were a lot of interesting cross-genre music during the concert. The Police playing with a rapper? Wow, that's a first. You know, I've been thinking a lot about my musical influences. I love listening to the radio, they've got all kinds of genre. And yea, I think "Umbrella" is sexy, but only when it is fused with the electronic sound in it. When played live without them, it sounds hollow. And well, I've decided to just listen to any music that's good. Really. Listening to a certain type of genre limits your musical exposure and you only stand to lose from it. I say, for every occassion, there is always a music to fit it.
All it takes is one rock n' roll show to change the world, but it also takes one hell of a guy brave enough to rap about his life in a 3 minutes song. Have fun, stay green.
