Live Earth concert, at least in the USA might be not happen

I know lots of people are hoping that Prince is going to do this show, you may not have to worry, because Washington where the concert is set to be played in the USA is fighting it even being played, mainly because its Al Gore whos behind it. Republicans are fighting its global warning theme as usual and do not want this show played near the capital, so another venue may have to be selected, also dont be surprised to see pressure on networks NOT to play it. Though NBC has said it will air it, no Music channel like MTV,MTV2,VH1 etc..will sign on to play it, im sure we know why. No comment yet from the organizers or if this will affect the other shows in other countries.

The lineup is growing for the show with main players being

Rem
Duran Duran
Bon Jovi
Coldplay
a-Ha
Red Hot

and tons more.

It could still happen in the US just in a different city if the Republicans keep it up...

Yeah im sure it will happen somewhere else, there first idea was NYC but they chose Washington. Im really surprised that no one has caught on that the reason the music channels arent covering this event at least not yet, is mainly because of who owns them.
