Geldof criticizes Gore's Live Earth - Yahoo! News
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands -
Bob Geldof, who organized the Live Aid and Live 8 benefit concerts, criticized the Live Earth music events
Al Gore is putting together this summer, saying they lack a specific goal, according to a Dutch newspaper report Saturday.

The Live Earth concerts will be held in cities around the world on July 7, with proceeds funding a yet-to-be-named foundation to combat climate change, under Gore's direction.
The shows will take place in London; New York; Tokyo; Shanghai, China; Johannesburg, South Africa; Sydney, Australia; and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Organizers have also promised an event in Antarctica.
"I hope they're a success," De Volkskrant newspaper quoted Geldof as saying in an interview.
"But why is (Gore) actually organizing them? To make us aware of the greenhouse effect? Everybody's known about that problem for years. We are all (expletive) conscious of global warming," he said.
Actually Bob in the United States there is not a general awareness of this issues....I am not sure what your source is or if your are thinking about the people you know but here in the States this is not front page news.....Perhaps you missed the flap about including Climate conditions and the risk that it poses on our national security in the NIE that are produced for the President each day. More than one member of our congress decided that it was not important and tried to have such things excluded.
Oh I get what is gong on, only you are allowed to produce concerts that would be about helping the planet earth and it's inhabiter's.......Sorry to let you in on this news flash-- there is a new show on the road and it's being lead by the last popular undisputed elected President of these here United States --Al Gore...........
