WINDS GRIPPED
Al Gore’s Live Earth concerts are as nothing compared to Hyderabad Against Heat:
Eight rock bands, five hours of non-stop rock music to promote a cause - awareness about global warming. Rock music lovers in the city went hay wire with rock bands performing at Airtel Live Music Concert on Friday evening.
Euphoria gripped the winds as eight bands of the twin cities took the stage to spread awareness about the cause through their music.
All the biggest Indian bands were there - Pash, Street Lethal (performing Hendrix covers), Skrypt, Caution, Drift, Delay 456, White Noise and (my new favourite band of all time) Stiff Neck Syndrome. They reportedly “set the stage on fire”, which is possibly not the aim at a global warming awareness gig.
UPDATE. Via MM, more about Stiff Neck Syndrome. Future of rock!
Some dynamite prose in that article:
“Rock music lovers in the city went hay wire”
“Euphoria gripped the winds”
“The bands set the stage on fire as the audience were ‘head-banging’ and ‘Moshing’ around”
And the beauty of it is, this global-warming awareness concert actually caused temperatures to drop all over India (no, that’s not in the article; but if it isn’t true, it ought to be).
RebeccaH—I’m alsmost sure it has something to do with the curry in their dressing room, but of course I’m too refined to make any such crack…

A result of excessive head-tilting, no doubt?

Sources close to O’Brien said he was upset by the treatment as he had only had one beer at the bar before the incident.

Apparently monsoon averages are currently about average, but this does not preclude the possibility that they’re all gonna die.
Seems to me one of the downsides of the growing middle class in India is the growing numbers of earnest rock musicians proclaiming things and people worrying about stuff other than where their next meal is coming from.
I guess this is a matter for the Indian people, but surely they must begin to ask themselves - is the eradication of poverty really worth it?

Auntie [Radio National’s ‘The Natonal Interest’, Terry Lane’s old gig] have been admonishing their resident celebrity physicist Dr Karl Kruszelnicki, who’s recently joined Phatty’s Climate Change Coalition party for ‘cleaning out only some of the Greenhouse skeletons from his closet ... trading in his four-wheel-drive for a hybrid ... but kept his Monaro [Pontiac GTO]’ ... saying it was for highway use and got the same economy on the highway as a Corolla in the city [Auntie said ‘but what about a Corolla’s economy on the highway’ [answer: Karl wants performance on the highway, dufus]
Tut tut tut :)
They’re just worried about what will happen in Hyderabad.

There’s a joke in there somewhere.
