Free “Best of Bonnaroo” music for climate change
By Julie Wiegan
The Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival is giving away free music downloads by major artists that includes Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews Band, Phish, and Jack Johnson. Best of Bonnaroo is a compilation of 17 different live performances that is available at MusicForAction.org.
Although the downloads are free, Bonnaroo is requesting that users email their Senators, the President, or their local newspapers about the issue of climate change. “This generation has an opportunity to be remembered as one that confronted environmental challenges and took responsibility for the future,” said Jack Johnson. “With that opportunity comes the responsibility to speak out.”
