Noel Lee, the founder of electronics company Monster, is accustomed to bringing big name music to the Consumer Electronics Show (about CES here ). This year, he wants to bring some big concepts, too.
The concert event Heal the World: A Tribute to Michael Jackson, scheduled for Jan. 7 at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino's Axis Theater, will have a big-name roster of music stars performing the music of the late King of Pop. Jackson's single Heal the World from his 1991 album Dangerous serves as the touchstone.
Because of concerns about the environment and "all the violence and terrorism in the world," Lee said that he wanted to put on an especially uplifting event at this year's CES.
"I want to highlight a social consciousness of solutions that the consumer electronics field can think about," he said. "For instance, if you can have a fingerprint reader on a iPhone, why can’t you have one on a gun? My goal is to stir up innovation around affecting the world."
