Sending out an SOS

I just finished watching about 12 hours of Live Earth. A few observations:

1) Older rockers should look to Jon Bon Jovi and Sting as models for how they should be living their lives -- both have a lot less bloat than most others of their generation, for ex. Nick Rhodes;

2) No one cares about Sydney. Both Bravo and Sundance showed acts from NYC, Rio, Shanghai, Tokyo, Johannesburg, and Hamburg; but neither showed anything from Sydney. Even Keith Urban didn't perform in Sydney but rather NYC (well, actually Giants Stadium in Jersey, but close enough). For crying out loud, they even showed the scientists in Antarctica; and

3) Performers should not be singing ballads in stadiums. Stick with rock anthems, or if you're Madonna songs involving slow gyrating orgy dance routines (starting at 3:44 into the song).
