I'm guessing this is a marketing tactic. I'm imagining all the BEST BUY stores in North America showing the 2008 Rock Hall ceremony on all the TV screens they have on display for sale. The stores will all be flooded with people watching the show, and buying products. BEST BUY closes at 10PM.

Yankovic: thanx for the info.
And... good luck getting your tickets for LC gigs;

The reason I had mentioned Leonard Cohen's upcoming Rock Hall 2008 performance in the Tour 2008 thread was because it's a 2008 performance. I thought maybe some people who don't care about the Rock Hall and don't read the Rock Hall thread might still want to be informed about watching his performance online or maybe even attending the ceremony itself. It's sort of like a part of the Tour. The start of it maybe. (Tour 2008 thread: over 37,000 views; Rock Hall thread: over 14,000 views)

Sorry

[astranger]

won't vh1 or vh1 classic be airing it as well?

[jimbo]

yes..................................

won't vh1 or vh1 classic be airing it as well?

YES, VH1 CLASSIC will air it on TV, not on their website. http://www.vh1classic.com NOT VH1 http://www.vh1.com

Call your cable company and ask them to add VH1 Classic if you don't already have it. You can always cancel it afterwards.

BEST BUY will air it on their website. http://www.bestbuy.com

This is the news section for BEST BUY: http://bestbuymedia.tekgroup.com/ Nothing yet about the Rock Hall!
