I was reading this article in The Sun about Who’s Roger Daltry calling Al Gore’s “Live Earth” rock concert project, well, stupid, and something occurred to me.

According to the event’s website there will be concerts on “all seven continents” to raise awareness and money to fight global warming.  That’s right, all seven continents.  Meaning that there’s apparently going to be a concert on Antarctica.

Now remember that Al’s movement is all about not using lavish, unnecessary amounts of energy...yet how much energy will Al’s concert crews burn trying to throw a rock concert on the coldest, most remote, most forbidding landmass on the face of the earth?  I mean, it’s Antarctica.  Are they going down there to perform for the penguins?  Or just to fulfill the promise of having a performance on every continent?

And if so, what’s more lavish and unnecessary than that?

Maybe something for Al Gore to ponder when he’s jetting about in his private Gulfstream or getting a ride in a luxury limousine to the next event where he’ll tell us all to quit driving so much and ride bicycles.

Not that I mind bicycles so much, I just sort of get a little peeved when a guy with a private jet, a 20-room mansion and a fleet of vehicles tells me to quit using so much energy.
