Tuesday, September 14th, 2010

Rock music winners at the VMA’s

Sunday, September 12th, 2010

But, being the rock music writer that I am, it is my duty, as much as it pains me, to report on the rock music happenings at this years ceremony. Luckily there wasn't much on the rock front so this will be relatively short.

Working for ABC means that the show Good Morning America is a must-view for me every morning before work. Friday's show was no exception but this time I was treated to an interview with Bono and The Edge about the Broadway musical, Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark, which they wrote the music for.
