Singer Rufus Wainright’s new global initiative grabs the spotlight in the new Advocate. Actually, it doesn’t take the spotlight, because Wainwright is getting all green and shit. His recent New York gig used no lights, amplifiers or anything else than can sully our planet. The move’s all part of Wainwright’s Blackout Sabbath, an effort to combat our typical wasteful selves.
In his own words:
I propose this: on a Saturday around the summer solstice for a 12-hour period (noon ti midnight) whereever you are, let’s all turn off the power at the same time… This time could be spent contemplating along or with friends on the coming year and what personally one can do to save the planet.
Well, we know what we’re going to do: recycle our lovers.

What happened to the Advocate being real news? It has turned into an Interview Magazine want-a-be, absolutely no value.

I would have to argue that green issues are real news.

I haven’t read the Advocate in years.
