“7-continent, 24-hour Live Earth concerts to be held on 7/7/07.”
Still no Antartica concert announced. So the previous statement is a LIE. Al Gore is a LIAR!
Gwar, Lordi, Emperor, and Immortal should play Antartica, with bjork headlining.
Good! Damn people don’t know how to treat their own planet right! MUSIC!
They are doing an Antarctica concert i’ve heard. I dont know how much benefit that would bring to the world though, more than likely it would do more harm to the atmosphere than good =P
