Of course not everyone is convinced that Live Earth is a good thing and one of the things we will do here is monitor some of the sceptics and wet blankets who want to pour scorne on the whole thing.
Take Dan Calabrese at the North Star writers group. He admits to being a bit of scientific ingnoramus but nevertheless has an ego so wide that he is prepared to dismiss the evidence of man made global warming as simply being the product of slick propoganda and he clearly sees Live Earth as merely a part of this propoganda machine. Never mind the evidence that rolls in week after week Dan. Hey thats only fact! Much better to create some sort of conspiracy theory about the whole thing eh?

Foo Fighters Dave Grohl on Live Earth
The Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl speaking exclusively to Xfm has talked about his excitement about playing the UK leg of the Live Earth Global Climate Change Awareness concert at Wembley Stadium on July 7.
“I’m really excited about it. I’ve never been to Wembley Stadium, I’ve been to the arena a couple of times, but never the big one, and I hear that this is the new one, so I’m kinda looking forward to it, and I’m usually the first person at the party and the last one to leave, so I reckon it’ll be fun.”
“I got a call from our management, and they said that there was a Live Earth event, and it was happening in a few [seven] cities all over the world and we were invited to play, so before we knew of any of the cities or any of the bands playing, we said ‘Of course! We’d love to do it!'
"It’s something that we’re all very interested in, and then when we found out where we were playing, we were even more excited. So yeah, it’s a twofer. Twice as exciting.”
The Live Earth Wembley Concert line up also includes the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Bloc Party, Beastie Boys, Madonna and James Blunt as well as re-forming film legends Spinal Tap ( as reported in our last post).
“There’s some people on the bill that probably wouldn’t be seen in the same room as us, but hey man, I’ll party with anybody.”

Live Earth reunites Spinal Tap
Thats it - we are definately most definately watching Live Earth! Spinal Tap , those over the top rockers who starred in Rob Reiner's 1984 classic rock 'n' roll mockumentary "This Is Spinal Tap" are reforming for Live Earth.
The news is that the original members of This Is Spinal Tap, Guitarist Nigel Tufnel (played by Christopher Guest), singer David St. Hubbins (Michael McKean) and bassist Derek Smalls (Harry Shearer), will reunite for Live Earth at Wembley Stadium in London on July 7.
This is Spinal Tap must rate as one of the funniest film commentaries on "rock gods" ever made and if you havnt already seen it you really must. The reunion of Spinal Tap should be one of the highlights of the Wembley Live Earth event.
