for Arianna Huffington about LiveEarth. It's pretty funny. Musicians are some of the biggest idiots out there.

Mr. Gore, for six hours, you 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.)

It's cute when entertainers think they're on higher moral ground than the rest of us, isn't it?
