Sheryl Crow: On deception, spin and losing our way

Yahoo News ^ | May 4, 2007 | Sheryl Crow

[television is just wrong]

It's been well over a week since our little run in with the adviser to our president. I am just now processing all that took place during the last few days of the Stop Global Warming College tour and a few concerns still hang heavy on my mind and heart.

First, I am deeply concerned over where we are as a nation. We are so blessed to live in a country where we enjoy so many rights that other countries cannot even begin to imagine. However, what terrifies me is not what we are ignoring about the state of our planet but the fact that we seem to have lost touch with our connection to the earth. We have risen to great heights of arrogance in our refusal to acknowledge that the earth is changing. We hold steadfast to our belief that nothing can happen to us as a people. We get into our oversized, war-machine-like vehicles, get on our cell phones and blackberries, and avoid having human contact all day long.

More from the idiotic left. This stuff is good for all of you, but I'm keeping my SUV and black berry.

[MNJohnnie]

No Ms Crow. We know the earth changes. Has happened continually though out the entire time there has been an Earth. The difference is MOST of us are not so mindlessly stupid, so appallingly arrogant to think the Earth revolves around our own butts like you petulant spoiled idiot “Entertainers" Just shut up and sing Ms Crow.

Global Warming? Saving lives one degree at a time!

From the Glenn Beck Special of May 2, 2007 - Exposed: The Climate of Fear

The globe is getting warmer. In fact, it`s warmed .7 degrees Celsius over the last 10 years. It`s not up for debate, but there are questions as to why it`s happening, how could the traffic it may be. Who is right? Who`s wrong?

LOMBORG: With global warming you`re going to see more heat deaths, but what most people don`t tell us is we`re also going to see much less cold deaths.

And actually, many more people die from cold than from heat, so for England alone you mentioned the number 2,000 people. Actually that`s what we expect will die from more heat waves in 2080, but what we have to remember is that 20,000 fewer will die from cold each year in 2080.

Now I`m not sitting and saying we should go for global warming, but I`m saying we need to know both.

LOMBORG: Yes, and basically the point is again to say we have a tendency to bark up the wrong tree. We worry intensely about climate change, but the point is we can do very little good at very high cost.

Let`s focus on where we can actually do a lot of good. If we care about this planet, if we care about its environment, shouldn`t we do where we can do the most good first?

What these Nobel laureates basically told us if we spend our money on HIV/AIDS, we can do $40 word of good for every dollar. If we spend it on Kyoto, we can only do 30 cents. Let`s do the $40 first.

BECK: Give me — give me the top five quickly, and where does global warming fall in this list?

LOMBORG: Basically what they told us was it was HIV/AIDS, malnutrition, free trade, malaria and agricultural research. Those are things that we can do cheaply and do an immense amount of impact in this world right now and also for future generations.

Kyoto came down at the bottom. Not because climate change is not real, but simply because the way we tackled it through Kyoto is very expensive and a very poor way of helping the world.

Don’t try to chat conservative politics on Sheryl Crow’s forum. Tried that in the past when she vented a political tirade.

On liberals are allowed to have a say in Sheryl’s world.

She needs to STFU or permit OPEN DEBATE in her “fan forum”. I’m not a fan but I should at least be permitted to offer rebuttal to her public political statements.

[Yaelle]

Aw, Sheryl, stuff toilet paper in it and shut up.

[groover]

oversized, war-machine-like vhicles

Where can I get one of these? They sound cool.

[COUNTrecount]

We get into our oversized, war-machine-like vehicles..

From The Smoking Gun

When it comes to Sheryl Crow's touring requirements, if it's Tuesday, this must be Bombay. Gin that is. The rock star's performance contract includes specific day-to-day instructions on what kind of booze Sheryl needs in her dressing room (TSG has never seen such attention to detail in any other concert rider we've posted). For each show, Crow requires 12 bottles of Grolsch beer, 6 bottles of "local" beer, and a bottle each of "good Australian Cabernet" and "good Merlot." As for the harder stuff, promoters are directed to purchase specific booze depending on what day of the week the concert falls, as the below rider excerpt reveals. Additionally, when the global warming warrior hits the road, her touring entourage (and equipment) travels in three tractor trailers, four buses, and six cars. Now that's a carbon footprint!

Sheryl has the arrogance and vanity to think that people actually give a rat’s a$$ about anything she has to say.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

DINGBAT ALERT!

Poor little lost girl, may never find her way back to sane side.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

she has just declared to the planet how ignorant she really is.

[Doctor Raoul]

More wisdom from “Miss Stinky Finger”.

[Right Wing Assault]

It's about understanding and embracing the fact that we don't own anything here.

Since you don't own it, can I have all your stuff?

[EdnaMode]

LOL, those Sheryl Crow cartoons are hilarious!

[dirtbiker]

Poor little lost girl, may never find her way back to sane side.

Are you implying that she was sane to start with?

She can never find her way "back" to something she has never known....
