One act, however, did tap into the power that once made mere voices raised in song seem like they could move mountains. In a strikingly quiet moment on the National Mall in Washington, on a small stage shared with a Native American music festival that had only been incorporated into Live Earth on Friday, Garth Brooks and his wife and musical partner, Trisha Yearwood, joined two other singers for the Brooks anthem "We Shall Be Free."

With Gore clapping stage left, the quartet conjured memories of the other history-makers who have walked that Mall, shouting for freedom and the advancement of democracy. In the grand scheme of Live Earth, this was tiny gesture. But it bypassed all other systems to touch the heart.

1. Okay, displaying my gossip ignorance here....

Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood are married?! When did that happen?

Love the song and can totally see how appropriate it would be. I'm kicking myself that I had way too many stupid piddly plans yesterday. I would have loved to have been ensconsed in front of Live Earth. Bah!

2. Yep

they have been married a few years now.

Thier performance of we shall be free was lovely and sweet.

Its the little things that matter, I guess.

3. That song was wonderful. I'm going to buy it. I see Itunes will be selling

songs and an album of tunes but this afternoon they only had one tune up so far to buy.
