Farm Aid. According to Bob Geldof(organizer for Farm Aid), there are just so many people snagging bootlegs of the concert, he had to release the DVD, even though it went against his promise not to release a recording...
I filed this under rants because, while it certainly could be his reasoning based on upon presented data, I just haven't heard people buzzing about grabbing Farm Aid from "the Net"(the Azas, online MP3 stores, torrents, IRC, etc). Maybe I just don't hang around the 30-40 somethings that would go grape nuts over having it. Maybe Geldof is painting the net a shade of grey to justify and promote his new product("It's that FA is hurting or I'm cashing in on the 80's like every other icon of the era, it's them pirates! Arrrgh!").
Who knows? WHO CARES!!!! It's just one more step to "We are the World" coming back. And when that happens, folks, I'm going Lou Ferrigno on someone. I'm adding Geldof to the list if it does.
The world needs Dennis Miller back on SNL or HBO. Now, more than ever.
