Worth noting, if you're an avid prime time NBC fan ... I'm not, but some of you may be. Don't get me wrong, I like a couple of shows (The Office to name one). But I do find quite a conflict of interest with all of this green talk, GE, ... Read More

Posted On Thursday, 16 Oct 2008 By David Westerfield. Under Culture, Entertainment, Music, Video Tags: 1977, Audio, Cold War, Kraftwerk, The Robots, Video
