That is probably the most polite threat I've ever received. It brought a tear to my eye and restored my faith in humanity — please offer the proper place and time for our grievance-airing via fisticuffs and I will modestly attend. Canadians, they're so NICE! XOXO

So...you're saying that being absurd is a BAD thing?

Okay, thanks for the clarification. Oh, and that night I was probably tanked on Bombay Sapphire w/carrot-ginger juice. Haven't had Kool-Aid since 1978 or so.

No, actually it was all pretty horrid. The Sting/Mars bit was almost worth the time...almost.

"Podunky hokum." Classic! (I must admit that Hornsby did a cover of "King Harvest" that I liked. Sue me. LOL)

Thanks for the ass-deflation. I needed that.

You're right. I'm an idiot. And a hipster. Thanks for the self-realization, and the history lesson. Consider me learnt. Hold on, lemme watch "The Last Waltz"/put on any classic Band album yet again. Hold on, oh I get it, totally....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

A little late, but what the hell — boy, now THAT was a good one. LOL

Maybe I'm not yet awake from my nap...what the fuck are these people talking about? And why are those brats being so loud? Where's my blood pressure meds...

Ahhhh yes, my elmer mottar...

Levon Helm died and we should note his passing, both in rock's name and as a fellow artist. But The Band is and has always been overrated, and this performance was poor, at best. The kind of performance that everyone NOT on the stage always takes way TOO seriously.

Yeah, Drew, because fingers flailing on a fretboard and everyone bashing their instruments is rawk, y'all. Exact opposite demonstrated next when Katy "Douchebag Domesticator" Perry gets up amidst the Tele feedback and disses Bon Iver by mentioning her cosmetics endorsement. Which is more rawk, dudes and dudettes?

There we go, people — the whole reason to tune in (and break away from Talking Dead, with which someone could draw plenty of parallels vis a vis the music industry) — Bruno Mars and Sting mashup w/Fist Brown's Victim And Her Egyptian Underboob Tat with the Marleys. Enjoyable, telling, and a little sad...who else will…

I shouldn't have slandered Fun. as a "piano-based Brit-rock band" in the vein of other wussy boy bands like Coldplay, etc. 'cuz 1) they ain't Brits and 2) they just won. LOL and yawn and next time check Wikipedia before I diss. Hmmm, "Walking Dead" is on in 3.5 mins....

Such a shame how music appreciation has depreciated. I bet you're a real cool hipster, hipster...you probably think/thought that Oasis was the next Beatles. Vomit. But thanks for the meta...

Oh shit! I guess you told me...and that would explain the roidhead git player. The subversion is complete — US pusses grew up listening to Coldplay, Keane, et al., and then said "Let's do THAT!" Oh yeah, I forgot Brit ska and Paul Weller, besides Supertramp...and yeah, most US shit sucks, too. But props for the…

Good stuff, good stuff indeed! Seriously jealous...

What the fuck...Coldplay? Snow Patrol? Keane? Fun.? Why does Brit Rock suck so much now? Was Supertramp the last cool (mostly) British piano-based band?

Thank you.
