"Earth Rot" was recorded as a concept album about the decrepit state of the environment, and scheduled for release on the first Earth Day, April 22, 1970. The message of the album is clear: The Earth is being destroyed and we are doing nothing to reverse the process! We are ignoring the Warning Signs that “come from the tongues of the wise”. 54 years later... how are we doing?
