Melissa Etheridge - 'I am awake. Are you awake?' Said to put up a sign in your car window - I am awake!
Did have a kind of 60s bridge to the 21st Century...
Etheridge said: (in an article)
[Still, Etheridge's own environmental fears predate her connection to Gore.] "We started to become aware of this in the 1970s," she says, "especially those of us in Southern California. I remember buying recyclable diapers for my first kids, really putting thought into it back then. It got hard for a while because it seemed like nobody cared. It's really nice this year to go, 'Whew ... OK. Now we're back on track.'
"The whole aim of July 7," Etheridge adds, "is to focus thought and intention on the issue that everything we do, no matter what country we're in, affects everyone else. America has to stop pretending we have an outhouse where we can just throw our (stuff) and that's OK. I hope this gives a sense of one world to everyone, to feel what it's like to concentrate on one thing for one time. That should be very powerful. It's what we do best as humans, I think."

cool Bill....and I am passing a thank you from Joolz, since you gave me the heads up about MelissaSwerdloc wrote: I'm still hoping to catch a replay of Spinal Tap at Wembley. There was an article that said they enlisted a small army of bassists to play on the song "Big Bottom."
Julie I was in tears too !! She made you want to get up and do something, didn't she.
You're welcome. Melissa really brought it all together, music and message. Plus she's a hot rockin' mama.
It does really make one wonder where the spirit, the passion of the 60s went. I recently watched Martin Scorsese's documentary on Bob Dylan, "No Direction Home," and found myself wondering the same thing.

Oh Shirley, I'm sorry! She was just frakkin' AWESOME!
If anyone runs across a video on the net of Melissa's performance on Live Earth today...
PLEASE post a link!
Thanks!
We've been wanting to see it again. I know they are re-playing the streams at MSN, but I don't know how long that will be going on... I WISH we'd had the forethought to turn on the recorder for that!

There's a thread at DU with at least some pics of her from today's concert, Shirley.
