The other big highlight--at least for this rapidly-aging ex-grunge boy--was the Polyphonic Spree leading the audience in a singalong of "Lithium". If I can be promised one moment a year that is that fantastic, I will try to live forever.

I saw them last summer in Madrid, and I'll never forgive myself for leaving near the end to go see Massive Attack.

Right.

His downloading comment at Live Earth was clearly a joke. And those 50 percent band-reunion digs are gettin' really old. Yawn.

Sounds like a carbon copy to me.

At first I thought it was supposed to be Frankie Avalon, but then I realized that that would actually be awesome.

Grateful? Yes.
