My Morning Jacket is playing with the Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra at this years Lollapalooza. Amazing. Again, proving that they are the best band today.

Also heard MMJ is playing right before PJ on Sunday at Lolla

That will be simply brilliant.

I forwarded the YouTube link of them performing "Gideon" with the Boston Pops Orchestra on the Letterman show to a friend of mine and her exact words were:

"I AM SPEECHLESS.

THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY FUCKIN FANTASTIC!! I LOVED IT.

BRILLIANCE doesnt even begin to describe how uniquely rock n roll that was..."

I think she liked it.

Depending on what this means, this could reeeeeeaaaalllllllly suck for some. If MMJ is playing on the same stage right before PJ, that will be great, you can watch MMJ, wait an hour while they swap stages and then watch PJ. If MMJ is playing on the 2nd major stage, all the way across the park immediately before PJ plays, that will suck. You'll have to either see MMJ and take whatever's left for a PJ view as they will start within minutes of MMJ finishing or skip MMJ to fight for your spot for PJ.

I'm not skipping MMJ or fighting for spots. I'm just going to hang out and enjoy.

Thank you (watches it again).

I sent that to her after a discussion on who rock's best drummers are/were...she and I and others rattled off a list of who's who in the world of rock & roll drummers (Keith Moon, Lars Ulrich, Stewart Copeland, etc)....

I told them that I bet not one of them ever rocked out in a tuxedo...then I provided the link as a visual aide. That performance still moves me.

"Uniquely rock & roll" is right.
