I have been remiss in my music-related reportage, and I apologize. I had heard prior to Live Earth (which was three weeks ago) that, like Madonna, the Black-eyed Peas would be writing a song specifically for the spectacle. But I never updated you as to how that worked out.

Then, today, thanks to my "media hound" colleague, I found out that unlike Madonna’s song, this one does not suck. As much.
