Live Snoozefest

Posted on July 2, 2005 by Solonor

Not that I expected any different, but the Live 8 broadcast sucks much ass. Too many talking heads. Too many commercials. Music cut off before it’s finished (or acts skipped entirely). When they skip showing Annie Lennox for an interview … Continue reading → Continue reading →
