Well...we are 37 minutes into the supposed "global concert of a lifetime" and MTV has managed to show 12 minutes of commercials for reality programming,interrupted 3 performances,and have shown a highlights package from the UK with the biggest names of the day already performing.
Yep. MTV has found a way to not show music on a day where music is all around them. So away with the Live 8 thread....

I fail to see how forgiving debts that aren't being repaid affects anything. Are any of those African gov't repaying anything?

Flipping in between innings I see that the Kabbalah lady is on. Dressed in white, how holy.
Shes wearing white again but colors always betray
Dont look into her eyes, theres an evil darkness inside
You might see her but she is not here
Leave her alone dont get to near
One touch and youll disappear
What a scream youll never hear
She carries a secret
And where she must go...youll never know
She carries a secret
And where she must go...youll never know
Searching but not for a home
A restless soul all on its own
Always dressed in white
As she passes on through the night
She carries a secret
And where she must go...youll never know
She carries a secret
And where she must go...youll never know

The irony of a loser-lefty band like Green Day playing at the Brandenburg Gate is too rich to ignore
And the award for the most overrated band in history goes to...

I remember distinctly, during Live Aid in 1985, waiting all day for the Led Zeppelin reunion, and then having to watch Dick Clark talking on and on while you could see Zeppelin performing in the background! So help me God if they interrupt a Pink Floyd reunion I'm gonna take a dump in a piece of tupperware and mail to off to the Congo!

I have to admit that green day absolutely rocked Berlin.

lol, I'm sure the rap/rock band 'Linkin Park' has many deep thoughts on the IMF and World Bank.

where's that SKEEZER Whitney?? They could entice her with some party favors
To: kanawa
Ditto that. Babe.
I'm watching MTV from St. Louis Madonna is on with a really big shoe. Who is flipping the bill for all this?
To: Dad yer funny
That's what's good about the aol feed. As soon as some crap comes on in one location, just click your way on to one of the other cities.
Cheers.

Just caught some of Madonna and she sounded like total ass and of course...they cut away from her and the VJ said "oh my god...i knew today was going to be special but this performance is just amazing" time for commercials...

Tim Robbins, looking skeezier than usual...and straight out of a Michael Moore movie!
To: Drew68
I heard right before Gilmore's solo on Comfortably Numb they are cutting to Linkin Park or a Preparation H commercial, forgot which one.
According to a UK newspaper, the set will be:
Money
Comfortably Numb
Wish You Were Here
Maybe a fourth song with a "surprise".
