Biodiesel Whatevs
Sean Penn's reason for appearing twice today at the Coachella Music Festival was to announce the Dirty Hands Caravan, a biodeisel caravan that will drive from Indio to New Orleans starting tomorrow Monday and is expected to arrive in New Orleans on May 4th for the city's annual jazz festival.
"I see this as a reckoning," Penn told the Hollywood Reporter's Leslie Simmons. "My generation and those that came before have to recognize the numbing of incentive that we've passed on to the change-hungry, imaginative, smarter-than-us youth of today."

Sean, biodiesel is creating riots in Haiti.

So Sean Penn speaks in Wells? Unable to use a single word when three will do--usually strung together in compound hyphenate pretzels, like they were translated too literally from German.

I know enough people in both age groups to know what a bullshit statement that is in both directions on all three counts. Is there anything more fucked than a generation? Just in general, I can't think of a single benefit that designation has ever given the human race. It's a grouping whose sole purpose seems to be the pitting of the human race against itself.

Is he going to talk about how biodiesel is indirectly causing food prices to skyrocket?

'Cause Jimmy Buffett is playing the Fest on Saturday and Penn knows know one will be paying attention to him while the King Parrot is on stage.

I was there, and I can tell you he bombed. At one point, he said something like, "just remember, while you were enjoying Prince, at that very moment children were starving to death and babies were being raped in Darfur."
Baby rape? Uh, Sean...are you aware that most of your audience are on something? Stoned people tend not to respond well to such topics. Sheesh.
