EARTH DAY MC

by Mac G, Mac G's World

The third annual Green Apple Festival music lineup was announced recently. Free live concerts will take place simultaneously in New York City (Central Park), Washington, DC (The National Mall), Chicago IL (Lincoln Park Zoo), Miami FL (Bicentennial Park), Denver CO (City Park), Dallas TX (Fair Park), San Francisco CA (Golden Gate Park) and Los Angeles CA (Santa Monica Pier).

The be held on Earth Day, Sunday, April 20th. (Insert 420 joke here) I understand two questions going through your head right now, what does this have to do with sports? And have I started celebrating 420 early today? It is sports related and always.

I did a triple take after scanning through the schedule of events in Chicago and the featured MC will blow you away more than the ladies of the Emperor Club.

Chicago’s arm of the Green Apple Festival will take place at the Lincoln Park Zoo, featuring live music by the Derek Trucks Band, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Meshell Ndegeocello, Chicago Afrobeat Project, Miss Lori Holton Nash (PBS Kids) and the Gwalla Gwallas. The day’s events will be emceed by Kyle Orton of the Chicago Bears.

Holy Crap Batman, Kneckbeard is running things on Earth Day in Chitown? The sports blogosphere's and all Bears' fans favorite booze hound is not only an environmental activist but they are going to let him talk on a microphone in public, on 4/20? I am damn near speechless.

I need to find out how to pre-order copies of the video and podcast of this classic event.

I always wondered if guzzling whiskey and recycling the empty bottles was good for the environment. Kneckbeard now has reaffirmed my previous eco beliefs.

Stay Green Kyle. Stay Fn Green.
