GORE HOPES LIVE EARTH FOLLOWS DYLAN'S EXAMPLE

Politician-turned-environmental crusader AL GORE hopes his Live Earth concerts have the same impact on climate change as BOB DYLAN's protest songs did on the civil rights movement in the 1960s. The former U.S. vice-president wants Saturday's (07Jul07) global awareness-raising extravaganza to remain long in the memory of millions around the world. He says, "I remember when I was quite young, and the civil rights movement was beginning, listening to Bob Dylan's Blowin' In The Wind. It was unbelievable in its impact. "And a lot of the music being written and performed for Live Earth is hopefully going to have the same kind of impact."
