The powerful thing about this experiment is that we are talking directly to people about the Earth’s crisis. It’s not graphics, mass mailings, or social media’s pixels. In the first three shows the choir and I played to 21,000 people. Our job is like an opening act, but also we are hosting the event of the LOVE EARTH tour. Neil and his partner Daryl Hannah came to us to help them convey the meaning of the tour.
Moving from our storefront “Earthchxrch” in the East Village, we gasped at the shift in scale, like a pleasurable version of the bends. When we wake up on the bus the morning after a show, the pleasure we feel is that we have blasted into the sweeping landscape of messages like “Let’s make a new kind of activism for the Earth!” ….and “Can we be strange enough to change enough?” …and “Love is the Earth’s radical gift. Let’s use it for Life!”
Would love to hear from you as we disappear into the thousands of people and thousands of miles.
