LIVE 8 -Live Thread

MTV/VH1 | 7-2-05 | my favorite headache

[My Favorite Headache]

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....

When I saw Robert, I think he only did one or two Zep songs. I was living overseas when him and Page got together, shortly.

Natalee from the Stars Wars movie was just on talking about getting politicians to pay more attention and do something

Sweetie .. they have been .. unfortunately the Crooks in these poor countries are stealing the money

When will folks wake up to that fact?

Carey, Robbie Williams, The Who then Floyd. Times and order seems to be out of whack.

One could nearly forgive Elton John his ego given his delicious treatment of Madonna.

Message of the day from celebrities: It's a shame that America should live they way they do, and the Africans live in poverty.....but I'm not gonna give up my mansion and my lear jets.

And yes, I'm a full believer to lying to your kids about certain things *L*

I'm sure they feel the same way about lying to parents about certain things!

They are a good 30 minutes at the earliest from Floyd going on.

Hard to believe it's been 25 years without Bonham. Sad. I'm hearing good things about Robert's new CD and tour.

[kanawa]

He looks like the lead Nazi guy that played in HBO's Oz and was the editor in Spiderman.

Holy smokes...I never connected those two characters.
Mark of a good actor...they say.

[hipaatwo]

It's the philly schedule.

[operation clinton cleanup]

When will folks wake up to that fact?

Certainly not while they are rich and thinks everybody loves them.

Yes, But I've been there, done that and know how to catch them in their lies :0)

Plus, I learned a few things from my mother *L*

The only way these idiots would have pulled this off is if they would have got th show to air on all the networks.

Airing only on vh1 and MTV is only a tiny audidence in comparison.

I don't know any college student from my school that watches MTV for the music. They may watch the non-music shows on, but that is it. They don't actually watch for the music.

I doubt this will make much of an impact at all.

MTV has found a way to not show music on a day where music is all around them.

It's pretty damn sad when Beavis 'n Butthead epsiodes contain more complete music videos than about any other time slot, on a station that is supposedly devoted to music videos. This is what I hear, anyway. I stopped watching somewhere around '87 or so.

BTW, here's the text of Bush's pre G8 speech. (It was delivered with more passion and conviction than most of these music performances will be):

President Discusses G8 Summit, Progress in Africa [Excellent Bush Speech]

Robbie Williams is jammin. He started out with some Queen, then jumped into this song I don't know, but it rocks.

[Mo1]

BTW ... since they aren't asking for money .. has anyone figured out who is paying for this all??

[rwfromkansas]

Are there articles about this happening?

[Mo1]

Huh???
Not sure what you mean

[stratman1969]

It will be a loss they'll recoup with CD & DVD sales probably.
