I don’t know about you but, my global warming awareness level has been running dangerously low lately. Thank God a bunch of “celebrities” have had the good sense to take some action and record a song for the cause.
From AFP…
British rock group Duran Duran and heavy metal band Scorpions are among 55 world celebrities who have joined in recording a song to draw attention to the global warming crisis, organisers said on Monday.
The song is part of a mass media campaign on the threats of climate change organised by the Geneva-based Global Humanitarian Forum, headed by former UN secretary general Kofi Annan.
Well, I guess it’s a good thing that they’re only using up some studio time instead of putting on a big, greenhouse gas burning, multi-continental, rock show extravaganza or something goofy like that.
Some of the other popular artists who add their voices to the anti-global warming song include French ‘Piaf’ actress Marion Cotillard, Senegalese star Youssou N’dour, Irish singer/composer Bob Geldorf, Chinese singer Khalil Fong, and even a Nobel peace laureate, South African archbishop Desmond Tutu.
By the way, “Bob Geldorf” is AFP’s typo, not mine. But, I left it in there because I like the way it rolls off the tongue. “Ladies and gentlemen…Bob GELDORF!!!
Who knows, Desmond Tutu might just be one singing Mutha.
The chosen song is the Midnight Oil, ’80s chestnut, “Beds Are Burning”.
Take it away Bishop!!!
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning……..
A few months back, I wrote a post “Don’t Mess With Gary Coleman”. Coleman was hanging out at a Utah bowling alley and took offense to another patron that was taking pictures of Coleman. Coleman ran the guy down with his truck.
That’s Coleman on the left.
Here is some of what I said in the original post.
Folks, if you are in a bowling alley, in Utah and, you happen to see Gary Coleman there getting his drink on it’s clearly not the time to bust out the camera to get some candid, partying at the bowling alley shots for your MySpace page. Everybody deserves a little privacy and it’s no different with big celebrities. Don’t mess with Gary Coleman. I know it’s tempting, when you are at the lanes and, when you see a big A-List Star like Gary Coleman getting a bag on, getting pissed as a potter, to want to capture the moment for posterity. But, if you do, you are going to get run over; it’s that simple. You are going to be out in the parking lot and Gary Coleman is going to get in his truck and run you down.
Now, Gary Coleman has had his day in Utah court. How did it go? From Breitbart/AP…
Gary Coleman has pleaded no contest to a disorderly conduct charge stemming from a September incident at a bowling alley. The 40-year-old former star of “Diff’rent Strokes” was ordered to pay a $100 fine in a Payson court Tuesday. He also pleaded no contest to a reckless driving charge, which will be waived if he doesn’t have any other violations within a year.
Can you say O.J.? A hundred bucks and a hand slap. Gary Coleman will run you down and walk away Scot free. The message is clear.
Don’t Mess With Gary Coleman!
Gary Coleman, shown here on the left…
…allegedly ran a in to a guy with his truck after a Utah, bowling alley argument over not wanting his picture taken. From Breitbart/AP.
Payson police Lt. Bill Wright said Colt Rushton and Coleman got into an argument in the early morning hours Saturday over pictures Rushton had taken of Coleman inside the bowling alley. He said the argument continued outside, and that Coleman hit Rushton and a car as he was backing out of a parking space.
Wow! Do you think Gary Coleman hit the guy on purpose?
Neither man was issued a citation, and Wright said it wasn’t clear whether Coleman hit Rushton on purpose. He said neither man was giving authorities much information.
That means he did it on purpose.
Gee, I wonder if they were drinking.
Wright told The Salt Lake Tribune there are “indications” that alcohol was a factor in the accident. He was unavailable for comment Sunday.
