  • Admitting liking him anywhere is a sign. You might as well say Al DiMeola is interesting.

  • Dude... Al DiMeola shreds. He could totally kick Allan Holdsworth's ass.

    I can't believe I just read two blogs by two different 12-year-olds. Austin is hot? Wear sunscreen outdoors? People smoke dope at concerts? No shit.

    Anyway, someone tell the kids over at CSE that Massive Attack is interesting for all of about 10 minutes. The Flaming Lips should have gotten the 90 minute Saturday headline time slot opposite Willie.

  • some of those john mayer comments can be filed directly under 'why hipsters suck.'

  • Some other things I either said or heard this weekend:

    "Dude, I'm so messed up right now." -(11:30AM) 40 year old fat Guy wearing a Black Sabbath T-shirt

    "Is that the Dears or Stars?"
    "You obviously have not done your homework."

    "I am so totally into this music." - 19 year old who incessantly talked about cute boy "Billy" during Aimee Mann.

    "Do you find it amusing that 20 something Jose Gonzalez sat the whole time, while Van Morrison rocked the whole time on his feet?"

    Regarding lack of sound for Tom Petty, in the rain:

    "Well, this was well worth the $150 and skin cancer." - 60 year old woman with giant flag.

    and finally

    "Ben Kweller had a severe nose bleed because of a deviated septum."
    "Uh-huh, and ODB died of 'unknown problems.'"

  • Why is no one talking about a TV deal for Mayer's hair? It has to be able to play guitar or carry on a better conversation than Craig Ferguson.
