That guy's blog post is a bit over-the-top.
I'm not as angry about it as him. But I think I mostly agree.

Thanks for linking. I hadn't looked into it or anything because I really didn't care thus was unaware that others are evidently as unimpressed with this 'event' as I am.

I think it's retarded that they don't try to raise money or anything. First off for both Live 8 and Live Earth anyone who is somewhat aware of anything going on is aware of these issues. Secondly if they got everyone to bring a can of food or something it could do a lot of good.

yeah, but Joss Stone was just on, and she is severely hot.

is this what those of you opposed to environmental issues really want to be missing? I mean, she's barefoot and rocking!

Actually, I'm in agreement about the various environmental issues for the most part.
I'm just completely uninspired by this event.

I just now learned that they are simulcasting the thing on different channels.

Just went from Dave Matthews Band to Bon Jovi on different channels.
That's enough for me. This is pretty boring.

Only band I would really care about is the Police I think (although I haven't looked at the whole line-up) and I just saw them live at New Orleans Arena last week and also saw them perform on TV on the Grammy's so I don't really care about seeing them again.

If it ends up being ridiculously amazing or a must-see or something then I assume I can simply find it on YouTube if necessary. But I really doubt I would be so motivated to do that.

I guess I should have stated in the OP that EXCLUDING any political or world views or importance, I was curious why no one was watching for the sheer entertainment or musical investment qualities.

Granted, Live 8 and Live Aid were incredibly important minus the music, but the music was still interesting and important. I was just wondering about people watching the concert for watching the music, and I think the lack of a solid lineup is a big reason why people aren't that into it.

I'm surprised I'm saying this, but 'bullet with butterfly wings' and this new song actually sound really good.

I just can't condone a Pumpkins reunion without James Iha. Even if Billy Corgan is the brains behind it all.

I guess I'm old school, but where are U2 and R.E.M.? Pearl Jam has a had a good run the last year and a half, where are they? Would it hurt No Doubt to get together so we can watch Gwen Stefani rock all over the stage?

Been watching on and off all day.
Seems pretty lackluster to me. I watched Luda, actually pretty entertaining.
Fall Out Boy = puke.
Kanye not bad.
Chili Peppers were solid.
Pumpkins!
and yeah, No Doubt would kick ass, Tragic Kingdom was such a great great album.

waters, foo fighters = good

chili willie = okay

Lenny Kravitz in Rio - Are you gonna go my way?

Damn, those Brazilians know how to party.

I need to get down there. SOON!

John Mayer playing guitar with The Police. Very nice.
