Cuckoo for Kokua!!

I know, I'm late with this but as you know I had a crazy weekend- A fantastic weekend, but crazy nonetheless, so for this post I will claim the old "better late than never" gag.

On Saturday and Sunday April 21 & 21, Eddie Vedder and Jack Johnson headlined the Kokua Festival in Hawaii, in support of Earth Day. What is the Kokua Festival? Well this is what their website had to say in response to that question:

"The Kokua Hawaii Foundation is a 501©3 non-profit organization that supports environmental education in the schools and communities of Hawaii. Our mission is to provide students with exciting and interactive experiences that will enhance their appreciation for and understanding of their environment so that they will be lifelong stewards of the earth. While the Kokua Hawaii Foundation participates in a variety of environmental education initiatives in Hawaii, we have three main programs: 3R’s School Recycling, Environmental Field Trip Assistance, and ‘AINA In Schools. More information on programs and membership is available at www.kokuahawaiifoundation.org"

Check out this YouTube clip of Eddie Vedder performing a BRAND NEW song he is said to have written just a few days ago, called "No More War". Day 2 of the festival was webcast live on myspace last night, and luckily I have good friends who call to remind me of this stuff! Enjoy the new song :)
