“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is
the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is
a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is
as good as dead: his eyes are closed.” - Albert Einsten

The Antarctica location hasn't been advertised just yet.) you can watch the whole deal streaming live at at MSN . So, what to make of Live Earth? Should we be excited or cynical?
Living a stone's throw from Chicago makes it easy to hear a lot of great live music. All kinds of live music. Over the past month I watched a raucous Decemberists show at the Riviera and an Arcade Fire show at the Chicago Theatre that left me buzzing for a couple of days. Later this summer I hope to be surprised by some bands I've never heard of at the Pitchfork Music Festival . On Saturday I drove into the city to hear some live music of a different variety.
