Al Gore To Play Philly, Antarctica
Back in 2005, our fair city of Philadelphia hosted the United States’ edition of Live 8. It went off without a hitch, shocking in a city of such incompetence such as ours. And since Live 8 went so spectacularly well in this city — Anna Nicole Smith’s appearance backstage notwithstanding — it appears we’re now going to host Al Gore’s Live Earth. Roger Friedman, FoxNews.com columnist, reported yesterday Live Earth is headed to Philadelphia on July 7 with The Police as a headliner. Dan Gross seconded the report today, bringing up the small fact that The Police are playing a concert at Citizens Bank Park show 12 days later. The original Fox News report also said The Police would be playing RFK Stadium in Philadelphia, which is either (1) the actual RFK Stadium, in Washington, D.C., or (2) JFK Stadium, the site of Live Aid that was torn down in 1992. Gross also interviews people involved with the Linc, the Cit and the Commerce Department, who all deny any knowledge. The concert is supposed to be on all seven continents, which means there’s actually going to be a concert in effing Antarctica. Maybe The Police can play that and we can get somebody important to play here, like The Hooters. Dan Gross | Live Earth to play Philly? [Daily News] |

“Maybe The Police can play that and we can get somebody important to play here, like The Hooters.”
Brilliant. Agreed.
Dude, The Hooters? Fuck yeah! They got shut out of Live-8, so Gore better not pull a Geldoff.
