This must be how residents of Darfur, Kosovo and pretty much all of the rest of the world feel every day when they watch CNN. (Of course, when they can watch CNN.)

Big ups to the Black Crowes' PR person. I haven't heard this much about them since Kate Hudson finally finished up her 5 year acid trip.

I guess the subtle diffs between "grunge" and "Sub-Faces bar boogie ensemble" aren't apparent to TV journalists. Or maybe it's because they broke in the early 90s, and it was all grunge back then, right?

@DHMBIB: I'd give it the same rating too. I didn't watch the clip, but that's what I imagine it should be rated.

Gee, I'm so stoked grunge is back. I'm gonna go get out my Mudhoney tapes right now & celebrate.

I'd rate this clip "2 1/2 circles out of 5".

OMG. Anyone else hear the female reporter say, at the end of the clip, "Fortunately they lasted a lot longer than Nirvana". FORTUNATELY??? I didn't think this whole story could get any worse, but she just took it to the next level.
