For all y’all who didn’t watch Live Earth, you missed this inspiring speech by Ms. Etheridge made right in the middle of one of her songs. She is definitely an artist who knows how to work a crowd and her passion show right through the crappy YouTube recording. A Must-Watch for all you jaded folks out there.
Go to 4:15 to hear the rocking speech that made me teary-eyed…
Besides seeing Dave Matthews up close (just 8 feet from my lusty hands), Melissa’s speech was my fave part of Live Earth.

An active ecofashionista, she has style edited for Plenty magazine and coordinated runway shows. She splits her time between Connecticut and NYC and calls Sydney, Australia her second home, even though it was her first (as that's where she was born and most of her family resides). When not writing, blogging, or researching her next book, she is trailrunning, trying to cook, or snowboarding.
Sorry, nothing found.
WOW!!!! I was working the night that Live Earth was on, and let me tell you….having just listened to the beautiful, talented, intelligent Melissa Etheridge sing, and say the words she did, I am so dissapointed that I missed it.
I was serving at a $40,000 wedding…how’s that for irony? Consumerism at its finest.
I hope we can all take her words to heart….I know I will.

This man was not on the Live Earth bandwagon – I think he makes some interesting points, even if they’re just ideas to bounce more off of:
