Ship of Fools
Here's the band that should be headlining LiveEarth, IMHO. I'm talking about World Party, as seen in the video below for "Ship of Fools."
If "Ship of Fools" doesn't convince you, then try "Private Revolution," or "Is It Like Today," or "Thank You World."
Karl Wallinger, the (Welsh) man behind the music (formerly of the Waterboys), suffered a debilitating aneurysm in 2001, but has now recovered enough to perform again.
Okay, so nobody asked, but there's my pick: World Party. Now it's your turn to play MC. If you were organizing Live Earth, who would you put on stage?

Tom Waits could play Earth Died Screaming.

Tom Chapin - we need something for the little people, too!
the police. when the world keeps running down, make the best of what's still around
Jack Johnson, of course. Reduce, reuse, recycle.
I always liked Ali Farka Toure
Ali Farka Toure -- the great bluesman of Mali -- would have been excellent, greenfool. Unfortunately, he died last year.
Any other African acts? How about Alpha Blondy -- the Bob Marley of West Africa? Anyone else come to mind?
He died???? Damn.... my day is ruined...
Speaking of Ali Farka Toure, how about Ry Cooder and whoever's left from the Buena Vista Social Club crowd? It really should be a world music venue, shouldn't it? It's called *global* warming for a reason, after all.
d'accord.
couldn't agree more.
