Old and irrelevant "Andy Williams didn't play at Woodstock. He was 41 that summer. "Ray Charles, then 38, wasn't invited either. "And at age 52, Dean Martin certainly wasn't. "So what were John Bon Jovi at 45, Madonna at 48, and Pink Floyd's David Jon Gilmour, 61, doing headlining a rock concert? None of them has had a hit within a decade of the 'Live Earth' concert. ... "One reason 'Live Earth' was dead last in the TV ratings is the music was irrelevant to the target audience. In fact, music itself is rather irrelevant, what with video games and YouTube getting more action. There is a reason MTV shows so few videos: Nobody watches them. "The other reason is that Woodstock was not organized by Hubert Humphrey, the immediate past vice president of the United States at the time." — Don Surber of the Charleston (W.Va.) Daily Mail, writing on "Dean Martin didn't play Woodstock," Tuesday at blogs.dailymail.com donsurber

IS THERE SOMETHING FISHY in Al Gore's enviro-talk? Instapundit.com Rebecca Keeble of the International Humane Society writes: <<< ONLY one week after Live Earth, Al Gore's green credentials slipped while hosting his daughter's wedding in Beverly Hills. Gore and his guests at the weekend ceremony dined on Chilean sea bass - arguably one of the world's most threatened fish species. Also known as Patagonian toothfish, the species is under pressure from illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing activities in the Southern Ocean, jeopardising the sustainability of remaining stocks. >>> This keeps happening. UPDATE: Reader Dave Mason thinks Al Gore deserves credit for bringing attention to the problem, rather than blame from the small-minded: <<< "In Al's defense, I did not know that the Chilean sea bass was endangered. By this act of selfless consumption, awareness has been raised. I will continue to not eat Chilean sea bass, and Al has once again saved some portion of the planet. Give that man a Nobel prize and some lemon juice." >>> feeds.feedburner.com news.com.au
