Sort of depressing today after all the music all day and night .
I felt connected for the first time in a long time during the Live earth shows , now we are back to the same old political horrors .

It sort of made me feel I was back in the 60's , that was sort of the feeling music used to bring .

1. I know what you mean.
If you can get Youtube, you can see a lot of the performances again. It takes too long to download with dial-up, so I was looking for bits and pieces on TV today. I would watch the entire concert again if it was re-broadcast.

3. I know exactly how you feel
Especially seeing Roger Waters and the Police. Sigh. I hope this can be a catalyst for change, but it's frightening how far we've gone as a nation, in the wrong direction. How much work there is to do.

4.  I hope it inspires change and soon .
I always hope , however as you said it is frightening how far we have gotten in the wrong direction . All the work tires me just to think about it . I hope the young people take this forward because I have little energy left to take on this sort of enormous task .
