We just watched a few minutes of Green Day in Berlin. He dropped the F-bomb (as Jason loves to call it) twice in the five minutes we had the feed going. The second song we caught was Holiday, which they began with their standard introduction: "This song is not anti-America. This song is anti-waaarrrrrrrrr!"

We're inside the AOL Music tent and I'm watching the feed from London. Coldplay's Chris Martin was walking around the stage singing and they kept switching to show Gwyneth Paltrow and her daughter Apple. Apple was wearing big red noise-reducing headphones. Really nice. Usually you see celebrities taking their kids out and the celebs are bundled up with long coats and the kids are barefeet and freezing. Way to go, Gwyneth.

After one song, Richard Ashcroft from The Verve came out and they did Bittersweet Symphony together. Then more Coldplay. These feeds look and sound great.

Here's how to tell if someone is a good friend or not. Call your friend up a few weeks before Live8:

You: Hey, we might be going to cover Live8. Want to come along as my guest?

Friend: No way! That is awesome! This is going to be so cool. I really owe you for this one, I mean, I've seen Roger Waters on his solo tours and I saw Pink Floyd in the nineties, but they haven't played together in like 25 years! I wasn't even going to concerts yet when they broke up. This is huge! Paul McCartney, REM, U2, Sting, The Killers, Velvet Revolver...wow!

You: (Long pause.) We aren't going to the London show. We're covering it from Philly.

Friend: When is this show again? Oh, July 2nd. I think I have a wedding to go to. Let me check. (Short pause.) Yep, I can't travel that weekend. Can't believe I forgot about that! Well, enjoy the show without me. Hey, I have another call coming in that I need to catch.

So my good friend Walter is coming down to cover the show with us. I think he would have come down if it was just a Stevie Wonder concert. How cool is that?

Philadelphia's Channel 6 Action News here was reporting on counterfeit Live8 merchandise just now. They said that official t-shirts will be on sale on Saturday on the parkway where the Live8 concert is being held.

Then they showed a small kiosk outside of the hotel where we are staying as their example of someone who already has unofficial t-shirts and souvenirs for sale. When the crew tried to film his selection of Live8 merchandise, the vendor pulled plastic sheets over the display of t-shirts. When they asked him if his merchandise was officially licensed by the Live8 foundation he responded, "If someone wants to make reparations for slavery first, then we'll talk."

How can you argue with that?
