In Rio de Janeiro, meanwhile, an anxious government official said the plan to pack a million people onto Copacabana beach for a free concert was too risky, but Thursday a judge lifted an injunction that would have halted that show, sparing Live Earth officials the embarrassment of losing their single largest event.

Left unmentioned, of course, is the four-hundred pound baby elephant of Gore II's scion Gore III, nailed in his Prius with "prescription drugs" that weren't in his name [a fact unmentioned in the liberal MSM] and marijuana. That would be journalism, a metier outside the LAT's skillset.
The Who's Roger Daltrey represents a widespread view toward the Live Earth gig:
"The last thing the planet needs is a rock concert."
But it looks like the show will go on and we'll all get fooled again, to revert to the Who's finest album.
