Smashing Pumpkins Are Back @ Live Earth

Totally killer . As in the old days they come out and do their thing. The Smashing Pumpkins Are one of the coolest bands. Semi-retired I hope not. Having seen them back in the day I can say not much has changed. maybe accept their hair. Maybe it took them disappearing for a few years for us to realize what they brought to the music world. The last time I saw them was at the breast cancer concert in Boston around 1999 or 2000 something like that. It was the best 3 hours of music ever. The stage and costumes were made for the ultimate LSD trip. Live Earth is just a little different. 4 Tunes doesn't do the Pumpkins justice. Support the Pumpkins and maybe they will stick around for the next generation to enjoy http://www.smashingpumpkins.com/. Better yet go see them. It's well worth it http://www.smashingpumpkins.com/tour

Live Earth Back to the music Is the scolding over ?

So is the scolding and the feel good promise done with ? Can we get back to the music ? Yes Alicia Keys has pulled us back into the music. Very awesome set from her. How come we don't see more of her on tours ? She really belts it out for a hottie. reminded me of Madona at Live Aid, but classier http://www.aliciakeys.com/ Speaking of Madona her sets have pulled their weight closing the London show. Dave Mathews has always jammed. DMB needs more time for their type of show http://www.dmband.com/. Kelly clarkson Jammed her beat. She really surprised me. So that's American Idol material . It's good by me. Check out her site. http://www.kellyclarkson.com/site.php? The Chili Peppers still have the hottest jam of the day so far though. For sure.

You can download so many bands live shows for free and legal right from http://www.archive.org/index.php
I use Real Player
I find it easier to do what I want downloading

Melissa Lou Etheridge Goes on political Ty-raid at Live Earth

Melissa Lou Etheridge seems to have choosen Live Earth to go on a 20+ minute rant about what Americans have done to deserve what ever this we have done to the earth Etc. I didn't think politics or her life were going to come into Live Earth http://liveearth.msn.com/concerts/US . I guess I was wrong. Do you want to do something right now. Go to Ebay and buy something to conserve energy. Like a cell phone crank or solar charger. I hope thats it for the politics from Live Earth .


Live Earth New York 7-7-2007

The line up link for LIve Earth New York. http://liveearth.msn.com/concerts/US. The Smashing Pumpkins puts on a incredable show. Not to say the police, Roger Waters and the rest of the line up don't. Keith Urban really surprised me. Keith Urban and Alicia Keys playing the Roling Stones Give me Shelter was awsome.
The biggie's for me are The Smashing Pumpkins, The Police and Roger Waters all bands Iv'e seen live over the years. The Police was a long long time ago. I am so glad to see The Police back together for the summer. If you have a chance to see them you should take it.

Live Earth Concert To Save The World ? London 777

Know that we have all gotten Paris Hilton out of our pop cult heads along comes Live Earth http://liveearth.org/ . Thank God ! Summer music. Most people over 30 seam to have seen this type of thing before. Myself I have been to hundreds of concerts and loved and still do love going to concerts. http://liveearth.org/ is the event of some peoples life. Believe that global warming is caused by humans or not. Instead of pointing out the downfalls of these types of global events I would like to talk music for awhile. First thing this morning 7/7/2007 777 I awake to Live Earth Summer music, hurray. It's not often you wake up this type of thing on your TV. Duran Duran Seemed to be getting the bad sound blues that always occurs during large events or even the first set of a Grateful dead show http://www.dead.net/. Duran Duran did pull together a awesome montage of upbeat sax tunes. The saxophone was always my favorite part of Duran Duran. Having seen Live Aid http://duranduran.com/ brings back memories. The Black Eyed Peas pulled it together a little better www.blackeyedpeas.com/. The BEP's made a fan out of me. The comes along the Red Hot Chili Pepper's. A band that I have been following since their days on college radio station. I have seen the Chili Pepper over 5o times including Woodstock 1999 when the place caught fire and the national guard were called in. Man they get everyone going big time. Seeing the RHCP's http://www.redhotchilipeppers.com/ away from a festival setting is awesome. Usually they are naked half the time. Do yourselves a favor and join their site and see a show or 2 or 3 or 100.
After the Chili Peppers the coverage moved to snippets from other city's. Linkin Park appeared from Tokyo Japan. Another band I just love. They have a special place on my iPod for skiing. They just seam to be having so much fun. They get me up off my ass. Check out their site, it's awesome. Seems like they were teen agers yesterday.
http://linkinpark.com/ Check it out !
We were served a little Snoop Dogg
http://www.snoopdogg.com/ , Xzibit http://www.xzibit.com/main and Metallica http://www.metallica.com/index.asp Everyone should check out their sites. I wish we heard more from the old school Hip Hoppers. Maybe in New York.
The in between plugs for the cause are OK. They always tell everyone what they want you to do for the cause, but they never help implement it. Perhaps Live Earth will be different. Lets Hope. A good place to find things like solar chargers for your cell phone and Apple iPods is Ebay.

Click here for your favorite eBay items
The New York Part of the show should full of Eco friendly ideas. The London part certainly was.
Everyone do your part but I think flushing the toilet each time is OK, and probably better. It take water to break down solids in a septic tank. My 2 bits. All the band links on this page were active with
http://liveearth.org/ content. You can watch the show their and participate in saving the earth or just loving music.
