Free Philly Concert To be Held At Giants Stadium

Remember Live Earth? That was the concert scheduled to be at RFK Stadium JFK Stadium Lincoln Financial Field on July 7.

Well, apparently, that was a lie. Because the free concert to be held in Philadelphia for global warming is in East Rutherford, New Jersey. It’s actually a bit more appropriate, since the factories around the Meadowlands are probably responsible for at least 100% of the earth’s global warming.

“Capping Live Earth with a blockbuster show like this will ensure we meet our challenge of building a mass audience to combat global warming,” Live Earth founder and executive producer Kevin Wall said in a statement. “Live Earth will be a monumental event both in terms of entertainment and in turning the tide against global warming.”

Yes, the concert is going to turn the tide against global warming. It’s just not going to happen in Philadelphia, unfortunately. Oh, well. There’s only two other Police concerts that month in Pennsylvania!

Update: We’re not totally left out! There’s a global warming conference in Philadelphia tomorrow.

March 28: Al Gore To Play Philly, Antarctica

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.
