He’s as hot as the Police when it comes to ticket sales and he’s hot on the list of scalpers as well.
Who would have thought that Al Gore, he of the second banana of the Clinton years, would now be leading the charge on all matters environmental?
But hot off the success of his feature film An Inconvenient Truth, having Al speak at your function is a guarantee for attendance, publicity and interest.
Gore was in Toronto on Wednesday for a session at the University of Toronto, the original tickets to the event sold at 20 dollars and sold out within minutes, local Toronto bulletin boards had them reselling at 500 dollars prior to the nights presentation.
He single handedly brought the U of T computer system to a crashing halt as 23,000 would be attendees logged on to try and purchase the 1500 available tickets to the show.
Gore inadvertently got caught up in Canadian politics recently, as the Conservatives used his words to try and sell their domestic environmental plans, a situation that Gore spoke out on and suggested that perhaps the Conservatives were not quite on the same page as he. Indeed many at the time felt that perhaps the Conservatives were taking a rather liberal interpretation of his thoughts to fit into their plans.
The next stop for the Gore juggernaut might be a world wide collection of rock concerts dedicated to global environmental awareness, a chance for the rock stars to show their support for the eco star of the world. Considering the reaction Gore is receiving wherever he goes to share his thoughts, the rock stars had best get prepared for an ego check!

With Gore set to be a rock promoter for the summer, 2007 looks to be a year of continued Goremania! Politics, who needs them, Who wants the White house when you're the talk of the Greenhouse generation!
