As more Live 8 shows and acts are announced, it becomes increasingly clear that London is getting all the good stuff, while Philadelphia gets the crap. Is Bob Geldof sending a message to America?
To wit:
LONDON: U2, R.E.M., Coldplay, McCartney, The Cure, Pink Floyd.
PHILLY: Dave Matthews Band, Bon Jovi, Will Smith (could there be a reunion with DJ Jazzy Jeff?), Rob Thomas.
Speaking of Bob, he was apparently the prime mover behind the Floyd reunion. "He was really looking for a real novelty act!" drummer Nick Mason says in this interview. "To reconstitute this particular line-up of this particular band, was a great idea, and it was really Bob promoting this." Mason would not say what the band's four-song set list will be, but I will throw these possibilities out there:
Hey You
Money
Wish You Were Here
Comfortably Numb
Regardless of what they play, Syd Barrett will not be at the show July 2, even though his sister told him about it.
