Fantastic interview. Love you, Alan! You were one of the main influences for me to get back into acting later ...

Really difficult to convey this as a "sound story" and it was done beautifully. Really compelling.

Green art? Is that like when Bono & U2 fly in on separate jets and perform for 50,000 people @ $280 each, using a 250,000 watt PA system and enough lights to light up NYC, but they "offset" it by paying some guy in Kazakhstan to promise not to fart?
I liked the show, but it was a little scary that Ballengée is naive enough to believe that if Rush Limbaugh saw his art it would change him at all. Rush doesn't actually believe the ridiculous things he says about global warming; he's not stupid. He's a liar.
Awesome show! I am also an artist using eco themes in my art and I think it is a powerful way to bring environmentalism to new audiences.
