Jazz saxophone legend, Sonny Rollins, issues a global warning
Sonny Rollins sez: “This is a finite planet. How much oil can we take out of the earth? How much fish can we take out of the sea before we reach the end? I think that the abuses have been so horrendous that people are finally beginning to realize that we can’t keep it up. People have to wake up in time to change this profligate lifestyle which we enjoy ... I think we are in the midst of this period where we are committing this suicide on the planet and everybody is just using up all of our natural resources like a bunch of insane people. That’s what I worry about more than I worry about jazz. What I am more concerned about is whether our whole civilization will be around in the next 25 years.”
