Live 8
I’ve been watching this fucking thing for an hour and they haven’t shown a single complete song by anyone. The coverage is incredibly annoying. It’s all talk and no music. I suspect they’re worried about digital copies and CD/DVD sales. No matter what the reason, it’s stupid.
My only hope is that Patti Labelle doesn’t come out at the end and hog the mic like she did at Live Aid.
The Black Eyed Peas are great, of course. Can we see an entire song, please?
Paul McCartney singing Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band with U2 and a horn section in the shiny Sgt. Pepper suits was a total embarrassment. Hideous beyond belief.
I’m turning it OFF and going to Trader Joe’s.
I’m back. Just like last night, Center City is full of cute, shirtless straight guys heading to the Parkway with their…umm…rather plain girlfriends. Nice!
Before I go on criticizing, I have to say Live 8 is for a great cause and everyone should go HERE and add their name to the list. There.
Madonna seems to have lost every shred of the charisma she once had. Like a Prayer is pathetic, Ray of Light is a huge improvement, though. Why is she singing in that half-squat position? At least we got an entire song!
Alicia Keyes is beautiful. I don’t like her singing much.
Linkin Park are adorable. I want to like them but I don’t. They are running overtime.
Break time. Back later.
Mariah Carey is surprisingly good but she’s wearing Aunt Ida’s lace-up dress from Female Trouble. She just can’t not be a skank.
The London concert has great energy overall. Ours is sputtering at best. It’s the line-up, though, right?
Nap time.
Dragging out the old folks now. Pink Floyd are as flat-footed as ever. (They were so good before Dark Side of the Moon. So sad.) Paul McCartney appears to have no idea at all what made Beatle records great. It’s good to see everyone’s favorite t-room queen George Michael, though.
They are interrupting Stevie Wonder to show a goddam Destiny’s Child clip!! Stevie’s pretty good today. Still picking out his own clothes, I see. Cutie-pie Rob Thomas sounds good with him. The guy from Maroon 5 does not.
It’s over.
