So we attended the Live Earth Concert all day on Saturday. It was a 
great show. I’ve never been to anything like it. The top acts, in my opinion, were the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Snow Patrol.
It was strange sitting in the crowd. I’m sure everyone in the crowd looked excited to the viewers watching at home. Sitting in the crowd, you get to see how varied everyone’s tastes are. The two middle-age ladies sitting next to us weren’t very interested in Metallica. The young early-twenties girls sitting in front of us leaped to their feet for the Black-eyed Peas and Pussycat Dolls.
I didn’t bring my camera. I didn’t want to travel all the way in and find that I couldn’t get in without it. But I did take some pictures with my camera phone and put them up on Flickr. The quality is pretty poor and there was no zoom, so you can see the stage and stadium, but no performers. The flickr link is here.
This is the first concert I’ve attended in over ten years. Later this summer, it will be Prince at the Millennium Dome (the O2). Can’t wait.
I watched the Live Earth concert here in the states. All I could think about when they cut to Wembley was the fact that you were there and hopefully with your wife (my cousin). I notice that you do respond to most of the comments posted on your blog which is why I’m posting here instead of sending another email out into oblivion.
This subject is far enough down the list that it shouldn’t get too much attention — except from you. I really do miss my family over there. Since you never answered my posts, I had to see what I could find on my own about my cousin. Do you know what its like to search the death notices for a family member? I was relieved today though. I had gotten an email from Live Earth saying that my name was on some sort of list there. I checked mine and hers… you have no idea the relief to see it there. I don’t know why she chooses not to contact me. I don’t know what I have done. Whatever it was, I am truely sorry for it. Please tell her that I would like to hear from her. I miss her and my aunt. I always wonder how they are doing. I was even trying to get a friend of mine to find her… he’s the Chef for AC/DC and Brian Johnson’s brother. He has his own catering company. Imagine him knocking on your door. Please, please… tell your wife. I just want to hear from her.
