LIVE EARTH FLOPS

[Ext User(Bonzo)]

*** "Live Earth," a series of eight simultaneous concerts worldwide
developed by Al Gore and meant to raise awareness about global warming,
proved a bit of a flop. More than 100 artists performed in the trendy
extravaganza on Saturday in New Jersey; London; Johannesburg, South
Africa; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Tokyo; Sydney; Shanghai, China; and
Hamburg, Germany, but it turned out that TV audiences, especially, were
more interested in Princess Di and Harry Potter than in global
meltdown.

It snowed in Buenos Aires yesterday. Argentina is having its coldest
winter in 89 years. And here in London, we could use a little more
carbon in the air, too. It is cold again...after only two days of real
summer, it feels like November.
