HI MY NAME IS REEF SHARK AND I SWIM AROUND THE CORAL REEFS. WHEN I FIRST HEARD ABOUT THE RISING GLOBAL TEMPERATURES I WAS LIKE, “OH, WELL, I’LL PROBABLY BE DEAD BEFORE CLIMATE CHANGE GETS TOO BAD. AND WHAT COULD I EVEN DO ABOUT IT ANYWAYS?” AND THEN IN 2005 THERE WAS A MASSIVE DEATH OF CORAL REEFS IN THE CARIBBEAN BECAUSE OF INCREASED TEMPERATURES, AND I’VE GOTTA TELL YOU, IT SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME. SO, I DON’T KNOW IF YOU HAVE EVER SEEN A CORAL REEF, BUT THEY ARE JUST PSYCHEDELICALLY BEAUTIFUL, JUST CRAZY. AND I GET TO LIVE HERE! AT LEAST AS LONG AS THEY DON’T DIE OFF AND TURN GHOSTLY WHITE, WHICH IS HAPPENING ALL OVER THE WORLD AT A PACE THAT I DON’T REALLY WANT TO THINK ABOUT. SO I GUESS WHAT I AM SAYING IS, COME SEE THE CORAL REEFS, BECAUSE THEY WILL BLOW YOUR MIND. ABSOLUTELY UNREAL. AND WHEN YOU NOTICE SIGNS THAT THE WEATHER IS GETTING WEIRD, AND YOU WONDER IF YOU COULD DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, YOU CAN THINK OF ME, REEF SHARK, AND KNOW THAT I REALLY APPRECIATE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO GET THE WORD OUT ABOUT HOW THE RISING HEAT KILLS THE REEFS. AND HEY WOULD YOU MIND UNPLUGGING YOUR PHONE CHARGER WHEN YOU ARE NOT CHARGING YOUR PHONE? BECAUSE THE CHARGER SUCKS ENERGY WHENEVER IT’S PLUGGED IN. THANKS BRA.

HOLD ON.
ONE MILLION OF THE VIEWS OF THIS BILL WITHERS PERFORMANCE ARE MINE.
FIRST, THERE WAS THE FRENCH REVOLUTION, BACK IN 1789, WHERE THE EXASPERATED PEASANTRY OF THE NATION KILLED OFF THE GOVERNMENT AND TOOK OVER THE COUNTRY. TWO HUNDRED YEARS LATER, THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT STAGED A MASSIVE PARADE IN CELEBRATION OF THE REVOLUTION, AND INVITED DELEGATIONS FROM OTHER COUNTRIES TO CELEBRATE WITH THEM. THE ARTIST JEAN PAUL GOUDE (LONGTIME COLLABORATOR OF GRACE JONES) WAS COMMISSIONED TO DESIGN THE EVENT.
