    Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. Sorry, Ted, that's a dumb question... skip that.

    I dont care much for that Future Islands clip. I love w/o an opener but if they have to I really enjoyed Ben Harper. Ben Harper rocking (relentless 7) and not going all Jack Johnson easy listening is totally kickass.

    If there is an opener, I figure it should be an act that gets the crowd pumped up, as opposed to super mellow.
