Scorched Earth Concert Running Thread.

The MSNBC online feed seems like the way to go. No sermons, and you can skip from one continent to another for the best act -- although the pickins are a bit slim everywhere. Keith Urban in NY is not bad. Foo Fighters are due in the UK in about 30 minutes (following Pussycatdolls).

 

While perusing the "Best Dunker Ever" thread, my wife took the remote and is now involved with "Scent of a Woman"
I'll be back later.
I want to see The Police and I'm praying they don't include "Roxanne" in the mini-set.
Bullshit song.

 

Dodged the sermons enough to see some good music. RHCP sounded really good ... I swear to God, either Will Ferrell was sitting in on the drums, or it was his human clone.

Genesis was sharp; so was Duran Duran.

Has anyone ever defined "Earth Mama" like Darryl Hannah?

 

The 1979 No Nukes concert series promoted the idea of finding alternatives to nuclear power. It pretty much started a movement leading to many nuclear power plants being closed and some that were being built stopped in mid stream such as Shoreham on Long Island.

The irony - today we find that nuclear power plants emit zero co2 gases and would be part of solution to curb global warming. A large source of co2 are coal buring power plants.

Those who brought us No Nukes now need to hold the "Build Nukes" concert

 

Duran Duran had to play catchup with themselves a few times.
Was surprising to me how off they were considering they played the same venue on Sunday.

 

Three Mile Island had something to do with it, too, Boom.

 

They were having amp problems.

 

I heard that part of it on XM, so that would explain it.

 

yes it did, but it does not change the irony.

I've not found any band yet playing today that particpated in No Nukes

 

Hey You by Madonna may be my least-favorite song ever, after just one listen. And I'd rather watch babies being set on fire than the video that goes with it. I've seen street preachers sermonize with more subtlety than what I've seen thus far.

Karen Duffy, definitely not throwing her out of bed for too big a carbon footprint. And who's the hot blonde on right now on Bravo? Petra? Whoever she is, I may go green for her, but I'd certainly go blue. You know, as in balls? Blue balls? Because I have a boner? Because she's so hot I have a boner? See where this one's heading? It's about sex, see?

 

Yeah - me, too.
I'd never heard it before now.
The kids choir behind her and the whole production is lame, for sure.
Wonder what she'll sing next.

 

Last for the Police, yes.
Next to last? Roger Waters along with guest Marianne Faithfull according to one website.
