... is three hours were not enough! I particularly liked it when Angelique Kidjo sang a couple songs. Amy Newman is a national treasure, for sure. I call her our "Walter Kronkite." A broadcast & online journalist with a conscience. And there's no one piping her the questions. She used no teleprompter today. Was in her "element": out among the people on the ground. You could tell she was really enjoying herself. I loved it when she stopped and read some signs for the broadcast audience: "A good planet is hard to find!" "Tarheels against Tarsands." (college kids from NC.) "Give Bees a Chance!" "Save the Ice Caps" "Cook Organic, Not the Planet." And if you didn't hear it, go to http://www.DemocracyNow.org and listen to Neil Young's new song dedicated to climate change.
