Music and message mixed - sometimes gloriously, sometimes oddly - at today's Live Earth concert at the Meadowlands.

Al Gore put the call out for a series of environmentally conscious, anti-global warming benefit concerts throughout the world, and rock, rap, country, R&B and world music artists answered the call.

Huge concerts took place across the globe -- in London, Sydney, Hamburg, and right in our backyard. Some 52,000 music lovers and potential activists filled Giants Stadium to listen to The Police, Roger Waters, Bon Jovi and other artists. Mother Nature answered the call, too, by supplying sunny and warm, but not oppressively hot weather.

As artists like Akon and Fall Out Boy performed their high-energy music, messages streamed on the video screens above them: "I will shop for the most energy-efficient products," "I will turn off whatever I'm not using, at work," and so on.

Concert-goers were repeatedly told that Live Earth was not a one-day affair or a quick fix.

"Today is not about the problem, it's more about the solutions," said Alicia Keys.

Gore, introduced by Leonardo DiCaprio, got the biggest cheers in the early portion of the show. Gore thanked the crowd, as well as others watching throughout the world.
"You are Live Earth," he said.

He also introduced country singer Keith Urban, who opened his set with a cover of the Rolling Stone's song, "Gimme Shelter." Keys jumped onstage after the first verse to duet with him; her passionate performance kicked the show's intensity level up a notch.

The Police, performing in New Jersey for the first time since reuniting earlier this year, made their two-decade hiatus seem irrelevant with an explosive set featuring hits like "Roxanne," "Can't Stand Losing You,' and "Driven to Tears."

For their set-closing "Message in a Bottle," John Mayer added his guitar to the mix, and Kanye West rapped about the need for new political leadership and his admiration for Police front man Sting.

"You are the only police good in the 'hood," he said.

Roger Waters concentrated on songs by his former band, Pink Floyd including "Money," "Us and Them," and "Another Brick in the Wall," during which a giant white pig scrawled with messages floated above the crowd.

Bon Jovi, no stranger to Giants Stadium, gave the people what they wanted, with a sharp set dominated by hits such as "It's My Life," 'Living on a Prayer," 'Wanted Dead or Alive" and "Who Says You can't Go Home."

"This is my house. This is my home. Let them know what New Jersey's all about," Jon Bon Jovi said, referring to people watching and listening all over the world.

At the end of the band's set, the audience chanted "one more song," but the band did not comply.

Jersey-born actor Zach Braff, who introduced blues-soul-rock artist John Mayer, had a message for journalists and others throughout the world who characterized the show as Live Earth's New York installment.

"I'm sick and tired of it," he said. "The last time I checked, Giants Stadium was in the beautiful state of New Jersey."

With the mid-afternoon sun blazing, and Giants Stadium about half-filled (it was virtually all full two hours later), singer-songwriter Kenna kicked off Live Earth at 2:15 p.m. with his song "Out of Control," pointedly singing, "Crazy world, it's spinning fast/ 'Round and 'round and 'round we go...(Things are) Out of control! It's out of control!"

"You guys realize you are part of history now," he said, between songs.

Actor Kevin Bacon introduced the next artist, KT Tunstall. Wearing gold-colored tights and a "Save the Future" t-shirt, she performed a crisp set of folkish rock, including "Black Horse and Cherry Tree" and "Suddenly I See."

Artists were not only chosen because of their uplifting and/or positive lyrics. Rapper Ludacris, for instance, filled his set with raunchy material like "Move Bitch" and "Money Maker."

At times, it seemed like just another stadium show. But in many ways, it was hugely different. A rotating stage made quick set changes possible. Live Earth's official subtitle, "the concerts for a climate in crisis," and the Morse code dots and dashes signifying "SOS" flashed on the onstage video screen.

-------------------------------------------------------

Zach Braff is right. It's not in NYC, it's right here in the great State of New Jersey!! Give us our respect and our props!!! Also Bon jovi damm straight show them what New Jersey is all about! :)

Live Earth New York? Not exactly

7/5/2007, 5:34 p.m. EDT
By TOM HESTER Jr.
The Associated Press

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — When Saturday's Live Earth concerts bring focus to global warming, millions around the world will hear about Live Earth New York.

But try as one might, they will find no such show in New York.

It will be in New Jersey, and many here are tired of seeing the Empire State steal the Garden State's thunder, whether it be with pro football teams, an American Idol episode or Live Earth.

Sen. Paul Sarlo can picture it already — video beamed around the world Saturday of the Live Earth concert at Giants Stadium with the images described as being from New York.

The show will actually be in East Rutherford, N.J., at the Meadowlands Sports Complex, which New Jersey built and manages.

"I'm really getting sick and tired of always having things in our backyard and having them always deem it a New York venue," said Sarlo, a Democrat whose district includes the Meadowlands complex that's home to Giants Stadium.

This is nothing new for New Jersey, which has lived in the shadows of New York and Philadelphia for so long that even Benjamin Franklin once remarked upon it, describing New Jersey a "keg tapped at both ends."

New Jersey is home to three professional sports teams — the National Football League's Giants and Jets and Major League Soccer's Red Bulls — who all use the New York moniker. "American Idol" taped an episode at the Meadowlands that was billed as being from New York.

While Saturday's concert is meant to put focus on global warming, it's New Jersey — not New York — that has passed legislation to cut global warming gases and emissions.

"New Jersey never gets any respect," said Beth Mann, a Plumsted resident who pondered New Jersey's plight on Thursday.

A few lawmakers have tried demanding respect.

Assemblyman Richard Merkt introduced legislation to rename Giants Stadium after the Giants placed "NY" on their helmets. He wants a name that better reflects New Jersey, but his bill has never received consideration.

"It's no surprise that the concert at Giants Stadium is being billed as Live Earth New York because most New Jersey politicians have never had the guts to challenge the New York moniker draped all over the Meadowlands," said Merkt, a Morris County Republican.

"So long as New Jersey political leaders continue to accept New Jersey as being just a suburb of New York, can we blame the rest of the world for doing the same?" Merkt asked.

But Sarlo said he's researching legislation to require Meadowlands events be billed as being from New Jersey.

"It's getting kind of old and it's getting kind of frustrating that these promoters always want to call it New York but they want to do it at our venue," he said.

Such is the case with Live Earth. From global news accounts to Live Earth's own Web site, Live Earth New Jersey is nowhere to be found. Live Earth New York can easily be located.

"The New York metropolitan area spills over into Connecticut, New York and to New Jersey," said Live Earth spokesman Yusef K. Robb. "We want to convey to people that this is a truly global event and New York is the city they recognize."

The Live Earth concerts are backed by former Vice President Al Gore, with Saturday's shows hoping to reach 2 billion people. Besides Giants Stadium, shows are scheduled for Hamburg, Istanbul, Johannesburg, London, Rio de Janeiro, Shanghai, Sydney and Tokyo.

Gore, who will attend the Live Earth concert at Giants Stadium, is scheduled to join New Jersey Gov. Jon S. Corzine on Friday when Corzine signs New Jersey's global warming bill. Corzine's office on Thursday declined to comment on New Jersey's lack of billing by Live Earth.

While it won't use the New Jersey name, Robb said Live Earth is grateful to the Garden State for hosting the concert after plans to locate the United States show in Washington, D.C., fizzled.

"New Jersey saved the day for Live Earth," he said.

[lofter1]

Wasn't there, but watched lots on BRAVO --

Melissa Etheridge was the quintessential rocker. She can teach some of her younger cohorts a thing or two about rock & roll -- and performing in general.

Ludicris: He's chosen the perfect name. Ridunkulous would work well as his middle name.

Roger Waters / Pink Floyd: Terrific. Perfect. And the pig was good, too.

Alicia Keyes: Excellent and hot.

The POLICE rocked -- sounded great. Will this be the beginning of something more from these guys?

Bon Jovi: Guys, sorry to say it but it's time to hang it up. Although they're more successful now than they've ever been their hearts aren't in it -- and they just looked tired.

Madonna from UK was tearing up the joint. Slick as ice. But having a great time.

Al Gore seems far more comfortable in jeans than when he has to put on a suit.

You'd think that Cameron Diaz could read better than that ...

[sfenn1117]

All that energy used for the concerts, the gasoline used by fans driving to the Meadowlands, so much trash, and the arrival of the singers on private jets. So much for this dire crisis.

Yeah, real good publicity stunt Al Gore :rolleyes:

[lofter1]

^^^ As opposed to everyone involved / watching doing what other non-energy-using activities :confused:

[macreator]

Once could argue that you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet.

[sfenn1117]

I just laugh everytime I hear it as a global crisis, and tired of hearing Hollywood types and politicians urging the common-folk to change their lives, when they don't themselves. It's hypocrisy at its finest. They think because they buy carbon off-sets that using exorbitant amounts of energy are okay?

Bottom line Live Earth was a big joke and does nothing for the cause except harm it. I think global warming is the biggest scam going around today, and while I don't think it's a bad thing to use different lightbulbs and have more fuel-efficient cars, the hysteria being created is not backed by scientists.

Pick of the litter: Crowd cleans parking lot
Tailgaters on best behavior at Live Earth concert at Giants Stadium

Sunday, July 08, 2007
BY CARLY ROTHMAN
Star-Ledger Staff

Amid the smoky barbecues and beer-filled tailgate parties outside yesterday's Live Earth concert, Chris Quriemma and her family dragged 40 aluminum cans across blistering-hot blacktop.

They headed for a recycling station in the Giants Stadium parking lot and swapped the empties for environmentally friendly prizes, like wallets made from recycled billboards. Then they signed a pledge promising to reduce waste and conserve energy.

"This is a good cause, for the environment," said Quriemma, who lives in Monmouth Junction.

Critics may have scoffed at the concept of staging massive concerts to fight climate change, saying the events would generate enough car and plane trips to leave a whopper of a carbon footprint. But most fans outside the stadium in East Rutherford yesterday seemed to be on their best environmental behavior.

The Earth-friendly attitude pervaded all aspects of the concert, from the main stage to the parking lot. Tailgaters hauled trash to compost and recycling stations, leaving the parking lot -- which is generally strewn with cans, cups and candy wrappers after a show -- largely litter-free.

Pro-environment T-shirts, signs and buttons dotted the crowd. Concertgoers tried to cool the sultry air by waving cardboard fans that read, "Hotter than I should be," provided by the World Wildlife Fund.

Bill Cignarella, 23, of East Hanover packed his pre-concert watermelon and beer in reusable containers.

"Every little bit counts," said Cignarella, who, fittingly, works in waste management in Newark.

Nevertheless, many fans admitted they came not necessarily for the cause but for the music. And some were skeptical whether their fellow concertgoers would even carry out former vice president and Live Earth co-organizer Al Gore's environmental dreams to the end of the show.

"When people are drunk, their thoughts of being green will probably go out the window," said Kevin Wasserstein, 26, as he watched revelers play a drinking game that involved tossing Ping-Pong balls into red plastic cups of beer.

But early in the day, recycling was indeed hip.

Outside Giants Stadium, a trio of drummers banged away on water bottles, car fenders, paint can lids and other objects they found near the stadium. The group's founders, brothers Bobby and Adam Alt, originally from Bernardsville, said they started using discarded objects for the unique sound the objects produced, but soon discovered audiences enjoyed their all-recycled instruments.

Inside the stadium gates, a colorful fairgrounds mixed booths from environmental groups with traditional carnival fare.

Liz Pomper, a volunteer with the Audubon Society, proudly displayed a tote bag full of postcards signed by concertgoers, each addressed to a legislator demanding action combating global warming.

"People are here for the music, and they're here for the cause," said Justin Tatham, the society's assistant director for government relations.

JERSEY SETS THE STAGE
With Live Earth ready to rock Giants Stadium, governor signs strict new law aimed at slowing global warming

Saturday, July 07, 2007
BY KITTA MacPHERSON
Star-Ledger Staff

Challenging generations of naysayers who have painted the state as a toxic backwater, New Jersey yesterday adopted the country's toughest anti-global warming law, which could, over decades, reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to safe levels.

In doing so, the contingent of government, business and environmental leaders won instant accolades from former Vice President Al Gore, one of the world's best known environment advocates, who was on hand in East Rutherford to kick off the Live Earth concert series. The event, which starts today, will be staged at venues on seven continents and raise funds to combat global warming worldwide.

Standing in the shadow of Giants Stadium, one of nine concert sites worldwide, Gov. Jon Corzine signed the state's Global Warming Response Act, bringing praise from Gore.

"New Jersey will be in my slideshow," he said, referring to a PowerPoint presentation depicted in his Academy Award-winning movie, "An Inconvenient Truth," which makes the scientific case for climate change and man's role in inducing it.

He said he often is asked during visits abroad why the U.S. doesn't do more to counteract global warming. Now, he said, New Jerseyans will be prime examples of Americans who take the environment seriously.

"In order to inspire hope and build the enthusiasm necessary to get this crisis solved, it's great to be able to tell them in every country that state governments are beginning to take the lead, cities are beginning to take the lead and citizens of this country are beginning to take the lead," Gore said.

Corzine beamed at the remark.

"We are making a long-lived commitment today that will impact not just our generation but future generations," he said.

He also criticized the lack of action on climate measures by the Bush administration as a vacuum of leadership that has prompted states to assume the role of trailblazers.

"I'm proud that New Jersey is one of the first among a handful of states that are leading the nation to combat global warming and I hope more states will follow in our model," Corzine said.

The legislation calls for reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020, a 20 percent reduction, and goes beyond the California standard by mandating an 80 percent reduction by 2050. It also includes a so-called "emissions portfolio standard," which will block dirty power from being imported into New Jersey from other states, and an "efficiency portfolio standard," which will save the state's consumers both energy and money, officials said.

The United States emits more greenhouse gases than any other nation on Earth. Scientists say that a small window exists over the next few decades to address the problem.

"People from across the globe will come together through the common language of music -- with thousands right here in the Meadowlands -- to demonstrate a commitment to overcome climate change," said Ralph Izzo, chairman, president and CEO of Public Service Enterprise Group Inc. "Through this landmark global warming legislation, New Jersey demonstrates its commitment by providing a blueprint for achieving measurable reductions in greenhouse gas emissions that threaten our health and livelihoods."

Izzo, a physicist, pledged that the staff of the state's largest utility is "determined to do everything we can to help realize this vision of a lower carbon economy and greener future."

As a coastal state, New Jersey is especially vulnerable to the effects of global warming, including rising sea levels that threaten the multibillion-dollar coastal tourism industry. Also, a warmer climate in the Northeast will bring on increasingly severe floods in the metropolitan area, including the Meadowlands, port areas, sections of the New Jersey Turnpike and train and car tunnels under the Hudson River, as well as large swaths of Newark Liberty International Airport.

"Skeptics say we cannot act by ourselves," said Jeff Tittel, director of the New Jersey Sierra Club. "We say that it's important for New Jersey to do all it can do to lead, to set an example, because this sends a clear message to other states and to the fossil fools in Washington that we can make a difference and we can take on this global warming crisis."

Several other states -- including Washington, Maryland, Oregon, New Mexico, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts -- are considering legislation similar to New Jersey's, according to Suzanne Leta Lious, a leader of Environment New Jersey. By enacting the law, she said, "New Jersey is providing a recipe for success for elected officials across the nation."

This is why New Jersey is the best!!! This is why we rock!!!:)

[jersey_guy]

New Jersey yesterday adopted the country's toughest anti-global warming law, which could, over decades, reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to safe levels.


The Ledger is usually a more objective newspaper than the New York Pravda-Times, but this eco-socialist BS sentence prompted me to send them an email threatening to cancel my subscription. Note that those are the reporter's own words, not a quote from the envirofascists.

People who "believe" (I cannot call it "thinking") that CO2 levels in the atmosphere are at "unsafe levels" for humans health should not be writing for one of the biggest newspapers in the nation.

[66nexus]

I think the article just meant unsafe for the overall environment. CO2 levels haven't necessarily reached catastrophic levels or we'd all be wearing gas-masks every time we walk outside.

It appears the US is now the #2 polluter bad-guy (which ain't exactly a good thing either way you look at it)
Found this article in TIME:

http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1635530,00.html

[Radiohead]

Yeah, we need to use less fuel to help the environment (hybrid cars should be the standard, not the exception), but more so we can quit relying on middle eastern oil. And maybe relocate Israel to western Jersey so we can get the hell out of the middle east entirely:cool:

As for the concert, It was pretty cool (though somewhat hypocrital of some), but I was most offended by Kanye West ruining the Police set with his (c)rap antics. Ranking Roger, yes. But Kanye West? No. Did Andy and Stewart (the other Police members) agree to this? I hate rap, hip-hop, or whatever you call it. It's like a pair of MC Hammer's baggy pants. It's a fad that should have lasted 1-2 years but it won't go away. Geez....:(

[66nexus]

A lot of old schoolers thought the same thing about rock'n'roll waaay back when...I think rap/hip/hop is here to stay

[OmegaNYC]

Radiohead, Hip-Hop music has been around since the mid 70's and have roots dating back to at least the 1960's. So it's a safe to say that hip-hop will be around for at least 40 more years. I didn't get the change to see the concert, but I'm no big fan of these things anyway. Whether of not you watch this thing or even agree with the music, the issue that we humans are f*cking up the planet, is something that ALL nations should get behind.

Lofter: Ludacris RULES!!!

JCMAN: You always gotta find a way to stick it to the big apple!? ;) ESB in green was cool!

Sfenn: We all know Al is gonna tell the world he is running in 08 in about 3 months. He should of said it during the concert.

[lofter1]

Lofter: Ludacris RULES!!!

Rule this ... brilliant, eh?

Pimpin All Over The World

[Chorus]
The fancy cars, the women and the caviar, you know who we are, cause we pimpin all over the world,
The fancy cars, the women and the caviar, you know who we are, cause we pimpin all over the world

[Ludacris]

All over the world baby, it's only right that I share my experiences with ya'll, cause I've been
Places where you'll never imagine, but Ima start at home, when I see a girl I like I walk straight up to her
And I'm like (ugh), Heyy girl how ya doin, you are the woman that I'm really pursuin, I would like to get
To know ya, can you gimme ya name, if you jot down ya number you'll get mine in exchange, Heyy
See I'm the man of this town, and I hope you would'nt mind if I showed you around, so when you
Go to certain places you'll be thinkin of me, we got people to meet and many places to see, Heyy
I'm really diggin ya lips,but be careful where you walkin when you swingin them hips, I'm kinda
Concerned that you'll be causin a crash wit ya traffc jam booty, heads pausin so fast, Heyy
I would'nt trade you for the world I swear it, I like ya hair and every style that ya wear it,
And how the colors cordinate wit ya clothes, from your manicured nails to ya pedicured toes

[Chorus]

[Ludacris]
You hear the song so dance, don't always think I'm tryna get in your pants,cause see me my

How many guys you know that can bring the travel channel to life, one day we on the autobahn
Swervin drivin, next day we in the sun on the Virgin Islands, if you wit me ain't no time to
Sleep, especially at wet willies on Miami Beach, but I drive you off and pay you no attention if
I make it to Atlantas Brina Brothers convention, then jump in the car and just ride for hours,
Makin sure I don't miss the homecomin at Howard, Hawaii to D.C. it's plenty women to see, so if
Yo ass don't show up it's more women for me, Heyy

[Chorus]

[Ludacris]

Grenades, outnumbered by the dozens at the jazz fest, in Mardigra all the women tryna show me
They chest, Heyy
I'm in Jamaica spendin massive bucks, while the ladies all beggin me to mash it up, I had sad
Beginnings when I rap wit no fans, now it's all happy endings in my lap in Japan, Heyy
I used to think that it was way too cold til I went to Canada and saw some beautiful hoes, now I
Hit the caribana every year in Toronto, then fly to Illinois to get a taste of Chicago(ugh),Oh
Yet and still you would'nt believe your eyes if you went to Brazil, ain't no need of even askin
Brah, the best women are reside in Africa, and that's real

[Chorus]

[Ludacris]

Please put both of your pinky fingers high in the air, now ladies look around wit me, lets see if

In shoulder height water, please tell that nigga, put yo hands down, if you smell like you been
At work all day and your car, please put your hands down, now look up at the pinky fingers that

Spin counter clockwise, you are not pimpin, if you are dancin on the dancefloor and you look to
Yo left and yo right and you do not see a woman in sight, guess what you guessed it you are not
Pimpin, if your Vodka and cranberry is really really dark like blood, that's because you did'nt
Order Vodka buddy, that's why it's three dollars a glass, put your hands down, now look down, I

[OmegaNYC]

Hey! you guys don't know about "pimpin' all over the world." (like I do) or about telling a lady to "shake her money maker" (like I do). However, that move bitch song is all on Luda... ;)

Besides, would you rather have Ludacris or DMX?

WARNING!!! EXPLICIT LYRICS!!!!

Rrrrrr arf arf what the deal
Well in the back wit ya faggot ass face down
Lucky that you breathin but you dead from the waste down
The **** is on your mind? Talkin that shit that you be talkin
And I bet you wish you never got hit cause you be walkin
But shit happens and **** it, you would of did ya dirt
niggaz is wonderin how the **** you hid your skirt
Right under they eyes like a surprise to the guys
just one of their mans was a bitch in disguise
****in with cats in order heads and slaughter more kids
Let me hollar at you all that wanna borrow the raw shit (ah-oh!)
Knahmean? I'm just robbin to eat
And there's at least a thousand of us like me mobbin the street
When we starve and we eat whatever's there
Come on you know the code in the street, whatever's fair
Blood stains and chalk, cause yo man couldn't walk
After the talk, heard him out at 1133 of New York
Transformin us niggaz so get it quick
You know for real that nigga can't ****in suck my dick
And it's gon' take all these niggaz in the rap game
to barely move me, cause when I blow shit up
I have niggaz fallin' like white bitches in a scary movie
Ah, you know I don't know how to act
Get too close to niggaz, it's like:
"Protected by viper, stand back"
What's that, a bunch of niggaz you was killas demented
**** y'all what me with this coward finish him descend it

[lofter1]

Both ^^^ are so uplifting that I'm finding it difficult to choose between them :rolleyes:

[OmegaNYC]

Lol! This whole thing reminds me of the Chris Rock skit when he talks about how hard it is to defend Hip-Hop music. He actually talked about the "move bitch" song and how impossible it is to defend that song. Heh, you guys are putting me to the test. :p
