In 1996, Houston had an ample schedule of springtime festivals heavy with headliner bands. But Earth Day was different.
Admission was free, although the sponsoring Citizens' Environmental Coalition sought a donation of $1 or a contribution of recyclable aluminum cans or paper. The event at the City Hall reflection pool featured environmental lectures and presentations. There was music -- a collection of minor bands that served as an aside to the environmental theme. And the closest the gathering got to corporate ties was the performance venue, the Texas Instruments Stage.
That event six years ago now seems more like six decades to some activists in the environmental coalition. The 2002 version of the festival rates such advance copy as the recent Houston Chronicle blurb, "KRBE's Earth Day Festival turned from an entertaining day at the park to a marquee concert event with the addition Tuesday of Sheryl Crow as a headliner."
