Dusty Chalk Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 So I totally missed it, how was Mike Oldfield's part of the performance? What did he do besides bang that enormous tubular bell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absorbine_Sr Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 So I totally missed it, how was Mike Oldfield's part of the performance? What did he do besides bang that enormous tubular bell? Oldfield played guitar for the most part, although I was screaming because the insipid US broadcast team would not shut the fuck up and talked over most of Tubular Bells. My favorite viewing today was the Women's Foil Fencing. Those girls were pretty badass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blessingx Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 (edited) Another thing to watch for at the Olympics... Kevin Lee, chief executive of Sol Republic, said he did not know that Phelps would be wearing his company’s headphones during the Games. He said he was thrilled, but not surprised, that so many Olympians were using premium models. Edited August 2, 2012 by blessingx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
