Hi Fives To Bob Woodruff

I caught Bob Woodruff’s “China Inside Out” special on ABC last night and was not disappointed — I only wanted more. I feel like I could watch it again and learn twice as much as I did the first go around. Excellent work! ABC needs much much more of this.

The Who Plays Rock Band Party For E3 Attendees

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 17:15:00 -0700

The Who played a private concert for a thousand-plus E3 attendees and other entertainment types at the historic Orpheum Theatre in downtown Los Angeles last night. The party, which was thrown by Harmonix Music Systems and publisher MTV Games, was a promotion for Rock Band, a video game that features the band’s “Won’t Get Fooled Again.” After opening around 7 p.m., gamers, developers and general The Who enthusiasts mingled in a side room at the 82-year-old venue for drinks while a steady flow of gamers, rocker wannabes and musicians hit the stage to belt out their favorite tracks on the video game. The invite-only event was pretty hush-hush until later in the afternoon as the second day of the E3 Media and Business Summit came to a close. Rumors also swirled about Coldplay and Aerosmith playing other parties downtown, but details never materialized.

The Who played for almost two hours and few, if any, classics were left out of the mix. Playing songs older than most of the people in the audience, the group performed almost nonstop, only taking brief breaks every so often to make random comments about the Rock Band game, software and how its breathed new life into the 37-year-old song featured on the game.

Where’s Matt-Waldo? (hint: I’m not the guy in the front) Check me out, wasting a perfectly sunny Memorial Day in line for Foxboro Hot Tubs in Solana Beach. This photo ran in the San Diego Union-Tribune on Tuesday. I hate scalpers, but I hate waiting in line more. More on that later…

“It’s coming through the air
For all of us to hear
Could it be the sounds of liberation
Or just the image of detention?
We want the airwaves back
We want the airwaves back
We don’t just want airtime
We want all the time all of the time”
