Kevin Wall has been busy this semester – the concert promoter is gearing up for Live Earth on July 7. This 9-city, 24-hour concert is set to be the largest concert in history. The primary focus of the concert is the fight against Global Warming. However, there is one thorn in Kevin’s side: friend and fellow Live Aid promoter Bob Geldof.

Why is Kevin pissed at Bob (besides that whole “gleeking on my girlfriend” incident)? Well, word around the locker room is Bob criticized Live Earth, calling it “just an enormous pop concert” without much merit or “concrete measures”. Ooooh.

Bob texted Kevin – not to apologize, but to just say “Relax”. Oh, no he di-in’t! Bob’s been pretty cocky since his super sweet 16 concert, Live 8, raised tons of awareness for starving people in Africa. Mmmm… awareness.

Other people have been criticizing Live Earth as well, mainly for the amount of fuel that will be used to transport acts such as Madonna and the Police to various venues on all seven continents (a band composed of scientists will be rocking out in Antartica).

Despite Bob’s bitching, Live Earth has high ambitions, including calling for a three percent reduction in carbon emissions from all developed countries. They’ll also be educating artists on how to “tour green”. Plus, no matter what happens to Kevin, Al Gore has his back.

And in case you’re wondering… “we have had conversations with Bono, and he is very supportive of what we're doing,” says talent organizer Aaron Grosky. “Let's leave it at that.” Oh, please. Let’s.
