2015 Earth Day Week: Twenty Tunes About Our Big, Beautiful Planet [VIDEO]
I’m wrapping-up Earth Day Week with a list of twenty of the best Earth Day songs ever including Joe Walsh’s 1992 solo album ‘Songs For A Dying Planet.’ He closes the record with a spare, two-minute plea, a metronome ticking in the background sounding like the Doomsday Clock counting down: "We’re killing everything that’s alive, And anyone who tries to deny it, Wears a tie, And gets paid to lie.”
