Sirius Satellite Radio has added another channel to its Live Earth coverage with the inclusion of the "Friends of Live Earth" event taking place at the Smithsonian’s Museum Of The Native American in Washington DC.
The event will be kicked-off by former Vice President Al Gore with performances from Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood and can be heard on Sirius' Prime Country (ch 61) starting at 10:30am ET on Saturday July 7th.
The "Friends of Live Earth" initiative is a toolkit designed to enable people to create their own event in support of Live Earth. You can read more about it here.

went outside and the temp was 82 degrees.... where's the crisis?
Its 108 where I'm at, a new record. Maybe I should be worried..... Thank God I have AC. Ramooooooone get me a mojito since I am a gay.
After all the hype, I was glad I could still tune in to Blueville 74 and avoid "Live Earth" in it's entirety.
