As expected, Al Gore's Live Earth is coming to New York City the outskirts of New York City! On July 7th at Giants Stadium, you can experience the most yay-meets-nay line-up in years:
AFI
AKON
ALICIA KEYS
BON JOVI
DAVE MATTHEWS BAND
FALL OUT BOY
JOHN MAYER
KANYE WEST
KELLY CLARKSON
KT TUNSTALL
LUDACRIS
MELISSA ETHERIDGE
RIHANNA
ROGER WATERS
SMASHING PUMPKINS
THE POLICE
M.C. ROVE
Tickets go on sale Monday. James Iha is already torn—it's like 40 minutes from his house, and he wants to hear the new Kelly material, but the awkward "Oh, hey, how's it going?" run-in with Billy may be too much to handle.

Who alphabetized that list? Individuals' names are alphabetized by their first, not last, names, and The Police are alphabetized by 'The'. I'm used to seeing that, but how did M.C. Rove wind up at the bottom?
Oh, wait a minute...
@Hyman Decent: I actually copied it from their official line-up announcement, which made little sense alphabetically, but made lots of sense at 7:15 A.M. As for Rove, no idea.
So you didn't append M.C. Rove at the bottom as a joke? You know, M.C. Karl Rove?
@Hyman Decent: Hard to say. Maybe he's reversing his anti-animal stance and going green?
No, it's okay to hate animals but love the earth. He recycles the heads.
Rappers care about the earth? Don't they drive 18 foot long Hummers with 32 plasma screens in them?
Yeah, go Earth Go!
Duran Duran is playing in some other city, but I suspect their recruiment came because of their song Planet Earth.
What happened to Shea Stadium? Queens get no love.
It would be worth going to see if Roger Waters brings out any special guests during his set.
And now to help me sing Mother, here's Kelly Clarkson!
Or Ludacris singing Another Brick in the Wall pt. 2....
Can I assume they'll be using spiral-type compact fluorescent lamps for stage lighting?
Oh shit, it's on: Kanye "Bush Hates Black People" West in a rap battle vs. M.C. Rove! You bring the 40s, I've gots the ride.
Maybe Dave Matthews can do New York the same enviromental favor that he gave to Chicago by dumping a metric ton of human waste off his tour bus into the local waterway.
