AS YOU MAY HAVE HEARD, the environment is the hip cause of the moment, and as a result, Earth Day is going to be bigger, better and more celebrity-packed than ever before.
Random celebrity appearances include comedian Chevy Chase and mogul Russell Simmons. But what we're really concerned with is the music.
This Sunday, for the price of zero dollars, you can catch a lineup that includes the Roots, Thievery Corporation, Gov't Mule, O.A.R., Ne-Yo, Jordin Sparks, Talib Kweli and Ziggy Marley. Thank Mother Earth next time you get a chance; not only for sustaining the lives of us ingrates, but for inspiring such an awesome free show.
