Music With A Conscience: I Need To Wake Up



It's the Oscars tonight, and Melissa Etheridge is up for Best Original Song for I Need To Wake Up, which she wrote for the Al Gore documentary An Inconvenient Truth, also up for a Best Documentary Oscar.

If the Academy's got any taste they would both win.

Plus: Al Gore, Rock Star:

"Look, this guy was a visionary. He was right about everything, even the stuff he was ridiculed for," Bennett says. "He was right about the Internet, he was right about the first Gulf War, he was sure as hell right about the Iraq war. And he was right about global warming."

FEATURED QUOTE

"It is the logic of our times
No subject for immortal verse
That we who lived by honest dreams
Defend the bad against the worse."


-- Cecil Day-Lewis from Where Are The War Poets?
