Matt Kibbe on Al Gore’s Live Earth Concert

July 11th, 2007 by Brendan Steinhauser

FreedomWorks President and CEO Matt Kibbe has a great piece on Al Gore’s Live Earth concert this past weekend.

By now, you probably are used to hearing lectures like this one from the former Vice President and Oscar winner, Hollywood’s favorite environmental scold. It’s hard to avoid his didactic preaching about your conspicuous consumption of energy. This past weekend Gore played host to what Rolling Stone predicted would be “the biggest concert in history,” the multi-city Live Earth. In massive venues across the globe, fans saw top acts spanning the musical spectrum, from the newly reunited Police, to Madonna to Snoop Dogg. Promoters had predicted that 2 billion people would tune in via television, radio and internet, but a small fraction actually did. One inconvenient truth is that Live Earth was a bit of a flop from a PR perspective.
