As if the failure of Al Gore's Live Earth concerts in July wasn't enough, a musical fiesta is being prepared to honor the new Nobel Laureate after he receives his Peace prize in December.
I don't know about you, but I can't wait!
As hysterically announced by Star Pulse Wednesday (h/t Ecorazzi, emphasis added):
Uma Thurman will join Tommy Lee Jones as co-host of the Nobel Peace Concert honoring former Vice President Al Gore and the U.N.'s climate change panel, organizers announced Wednesday. The Dec. 11 concert, held the day after the Nobel Peace Prize is presented in Oslo, draws top music and film stars, and is broadcast to more than 100 countries, a news release said.
Organizers earlier announced that Jones, who was Gore's roommate at Harvard University, would be one of the concert's hosts. The lineup of performers includes Alicia Keys, Annie Lennox and Melissa Etheridge, who won an Academy Award this year for the song ''I Need to Wake Up,'' which was featured in Gore's environmental documentary ''An Inconvenient Truth.''
Does anyone recall prior Nobel Peace Prize recipients having concerts honoring their work?
I must have missed Mother Teresa and Yasser Arafat boogieing on stage with the Bee Gees!
