Opinion

Barry Artiste, Now Public Contributor

I am sure Now Public Readers witnessed on television last night Hundreds of Rockers, their PR people, Roadies and assorted hanger ons traveled the world in order to "Save the Earth", not to mention the attendance of millions of concert goers spread over 7 continents took Global Warming to new heights in their effort to Save the Earth and to be treated by the New Global Warming messiah Al Gore, and his Environmental "ManBearPig Theory" Sorry, Suzuki, guess it's back to minors for you.

The 60's Protest songs of old are now replaced by the new protest songs of today. "Save the Earth at all Costs, Global Warming affects us all, live long, live cleanly, live simply, Ban Global Warming"  touted by Rockers, Concert Goers and Politicians alike.  

Rockers and their massive entourage, Concert Promoters, Media Wonks, Concession and T Shirt vendors, Millions of concert goers and of course our Politicians I am sure all walked or took a canoe and rowed the vast oceans to these "Environmentally friendly "Concert venues, complete with their  Hemp woven earth friendly shoes and fair trade, non third world country made clothes.  Ooh and lest we not forget "No polluting Deodorants please" we're French. I hope everyone remembered to bring only "One Square" when visiting the "crapper" to fire one out , Sheryl Crow says she does it, so should you. That's one Rocker I won't shake hands with.

I am also sure everyone above pitched in as well to carry the  millions of tons of unsurmountable equipment and lighting around the world which is needed to give these concerts.  Heaven for fend if they used hundreds and hundreds of aircraft to offload all this equipment and people onto air conditioned, diesel tour buses, as they found easy parking at empty lots at these venues, because millions and millions of concert goers chose to walk instead of drive their cars.  In ending, I am satisfied our Environmentally Committed Rockers who own a multitude of  air conditioned Mansions around the world, insist we must all do our part,  well the concert  goers at least to "Save our Mother Earth".  With that, I am sure everyone pitched in packed up all the equipment, picked up all the joints off the concert grounds, as they Sherpa'd millions of tons of sound equipment and lighting by foot to awaiting environmentally friendly canoes awaiting offshore so the Rockers could row themselves home.

My Final Thought.

Some say you need to spend money on a large scale  to make money, I guess the same is true for Saving the Earth, you have to pollute on a large scale in order "Save the Earth".

Somehow I think Dr. Suzuki is smiling smugly in his Air conditioned Vancouver Mansion witnessing all this, knowing Al Gore is spooning his "36 pack of Charmin" in case he gets another attack of  "Virtual Verbal Diaherra".

Some Now Public may disagree, but if you truly think about it, it is an event of hypocrisy. Got an Opinion, post it.
