It's not that I think stupidity should be punishable by death. I just think we should take the warning labels off of everything and let the problem take care of itself.

Tomorrow is the Live 8 concert. I'll admit that I have been paying very little (OK, none) attention to it. My friends know that I'm not the person to ask for information or advice on music - unless you want to know how to connect your computer to your home theater for playing MP3's.
Anyway, Chris over at Boy's Briefs has a few stern words for the hochos at MTV and VH1 regarding their programming schedule for Live 8. Specifically, the reunion of Pink Floyd and its former leader (and true artistic talent) Roger Waters.
All of this is news to me, but it's definitely exciting. As a freshman in college, I was lucky enough to see not one but two Pink Floyd shows (fun times, huh John?). And while they were fantastic, Waters' absence diminished the concert. And, of course, his leaving did nothing at all for their music, but that's another story. So the chance to see them perform, albeit on TV, with Roger Waters is amazing. So I'm setting my Replay - now I just have to figure out how to record 3 channels at once.
Oh, and I have to agree completely with Chris:
I'll be watching tomorrow. And if you don't broadcast Pink Floyd's entire performance, I swear to God I will hunt you down and I will kill you.
Given recent coverage of live events (like Wimbledon) by the major media recently, I'm not optimistic. In the meantime I'll be here listining to The Final Cut. Where the hell is my Dark Side of the Moon disc??
