Waiting On The World To Change
It’s here, 07.07.07 - it’s a big day for a number of reasons. Most likely, hundreds of thousands of people are paying a premium across the world to get married on a day with typographically interesting and easy-to-remember numbers - but more importantly, it’s the day of Live Earth. Yeah, you should have heard about the concert with practically every major musical act joining together to make a point and raise awareness and funds for the beautiful earth, which we can’t help but spoil.
John Mayer has a great post about it on his blog:
Mr. Gore, for six hours, you’ll have the collective ear of a generation. Tell the world how to change itself, and keep to the salient points - the big, unbroken potato chips at the top of the bag, so to speak. This is your big moment to show us all how easy it can be. Go with the “fly direct whenever possible” bit further down the road. Make the call to action feel like music makes us feel; that sometimes the only way to make it through the tough times in life is to bob your head to the groove and float it out. (That’s hippie talk. The audience will get it, I promise.)
