Last night Live Earth co-founder and former U.S. Vice President Al Gore was interviewed on NBC Universal’s Access Hollywood. In addition to sharing his thoughts on the election of Barack Obama and potential solutions to the climate crisis that may emerge from the Obama administration, Mr. Gore was asked about Live Earth India. Watch the video below:
The Hindustan Times, based in Mumbai, previewed Live Earth India with an excellent interview of will.i.am. Behind the paper’s front page portrait (see below), will.i.am discusses what Live Earth has to offer and why Live Earth India will be such an influential event. Read excerpts of the interview below:
On will.i.am’s interest in working in the India music scene:
Are you clued into the Indian music scene at all?
Not much but I would really like to develop an international act here. Latin music has a Shakira and Jennifer Lopez. Americans have Fergie and Beyonce. Australians have Natalie Imbruglia. But there’s no big youth Indian music star, which is unfortunate. There is so much talent there but no one knows that.
