Remove the 60's references and you have a good article.
Ugh, I wanted to forward some article about Live Earth to my friends that didn't contain the usual mainsteam media knee-jerk snarkiness (and silly attempts to "present both sides") and was hoping Salon would come to the rescue, but the "Flower Powewr" shit killed it for me right there. Please, will you boomers go away? The generation that has to deal with these issues addressed at this concert were born after that nonsense. As a fairly young liberal I'm sick and tired of that '60's albatross that's been stuck on me and my fellow young liberals' necks. I always get "tree-hugging hippy" -type epithets when I post on message boards and frankly I've had enough of it. Cintra Wilson just reinforced that crap once again.
Hmmm....maybe a better article can be found on Guardian Unlimited or something....
