PSA raises volume on oceans' problems
USA Today October 9, 2003
School of Rock star Jack Black lends his energetic brand of comedy
to a television public service announcement about the plight of
the world's oceans. In the Ocean Symphony PSA, now airing, Black
serves as the frantic conductor to a discordant orchestra that features
Henry Winkler on harp, Tom Arnold on kettle drums and nearly 20
other Hollywood actors on instruments for which they have no skill
or training. Produced by the Shifting Baselines Media Campaign,
a partnership of more than a dozen ocean conservation groups and
the entertainment community, the PSA asks the question, If we don't
accept a butchered symphony, why accept the state of the world's
oceans, from depleted fish stocks to dying coral reefs?"
