I was trying to find out when the live 8 concert will start. Does anyone know? Does 7 am sound right? Anyone have any info on the lineup times or anything like that?

The Barrie show? 11 am start time. Gates open at 9 am.

NEW INFO ABOUT THINGS ALLOWED INTO LIVE 8

-soft coolers will be allowed into the concert, as long as they contain NO ice or icepacks
-all food brought into the concert must be repackaged so that no commercial labels remain. (for example, repackage a granola bar in cling wrap instead of bringing it in its original wrapper. Avoid Tupperware or hard packaging).
-professional cameras are not allowed into the event. Personal cameras may be allowed at the discretion of security.

House of Blues - The Offical Concert Organizer for LIVE 8 - has released this press release June 24, 2005.

Well I guess I better start cling wrapping those granola bars and get ready for a day of warm drinks!

The Tragically Hip: As Canadian as, um, blueberry pie, the Kingston-based sextet has never been able to match its homegrown popularity abroad. But led by singer/lyricist Gordon Downie, the band ranks as a bona fide institution on these shores, thanks to hockey-referencing unofficial anthems such as "Bobcaygeon," "Fifty Mission Cap" and "Wheat Kings."

cratch: I don't know the band, nor am I really interested in doing any research, so let's just say what I hear others say all the time...

There is a blurb about all of the performers, and all of them, except this one, were complimentary of the successes that the band's have had. It irks me that this attitude towards/about The Hip persists.

And who are the sixth and seventh members?

and what are the hockey references in Bobcaygeon and Wheat Kings?

(sextet would be six, heptet would be seven)

Man, I know the Toronto "Red" Star has done some atrocious reporting... but this takes the cake! hock:

That person needs some serious Canadian re-training... either that or she could do a little research and get her facts right... you know, doing HER ACTUAL JOB!!! :rambo: :rambo:

*Sigh...* :roll:
