    Poppy? i wonder if he means poppy as in "WWS, Marker In the Sand" poppy.. because that was as close to poppy as i ever heard pj come..




    Oh and Mike rules ... he should be the official spokes person for the band :D
    He plays it so smooth. Its just like .. "yeah... we are doin this this and this. Bam, McCready out , YO"

    Poppy as PJ has ever come = Better Man

    The only thing missing would be : "yeah, we also plan to come over to Europe once again, and visit amazing cities & people like in France for example; october is the target"

    Just a nice dream, guys...

    I beleive the Jeff once said that Letter to the Dead/Sad was what they considered a "Pop" like song. So I will take more of those if they consider that pop.
    ...got a mind full of questions and a teacher in my soul...

    This will be my first PJ show I have ever seen live. I'm so excited that I get to see 2 of my favorite bands in one spot(PJ and Metallica), I get to buy a boot from both bands, a get the additional DVD from Bonnaroo, and the PJ may play some rare stuff. Not too shabby for a first PJ and Metallica live experience.
    My first PJ show to witness was at Bonnaroo. How is that for lucky?

    I've always considered Down and Sad to be the most poppy songs in PJ's catalogue....and I likey both of those a lot

    and THANK GOD it sounds like boots will be back. Now if we could just get official word on the McRib

    Great article, now I'm even more anxious than before about what they will pull out of their hats at Bonnaroo!
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    Matt Cameron is quickly becoming today's "Charlie Watts" with his upcoming Jazz set! This pleases me.
    There's Pearl Jam, The Rolling Stones, Chuck Berry, Robert Johnson......and then everybody else.

    I'd love to see Jack White onstage with Pearl Jam. Now if they could just figure out a way to tour the South with a couple shows in North Carolina with the White Stripes opening I'd die a happy man... :)
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    Hmmm, I don't consider "Parachutes" to be very poppy at all. I was thinking more along the lines of "Unemployable"

    Parachutes is the furthest thing from a "poppy" song...for instatnce, I believe Mike is referring to songs like, Gone, WWS, and maybe even Marker, to name a few from Avacado...

    This is great news!!! Can't wait for 'Roo!!!!!

    Thank you for posting the excellent article. Hope the PJ - Jack White collaboration comes to pass. Speaking of Matt, Harrybu McCage kicks ass. Definitely going to check out the New Orleans Jazz stage.

    Yes, this is way more information than the 10C has given us lately.
    Hail, hail the lucky ones, I refer to those in love.

    Parachutes is a complete Beatles rip-off and the Beatles pretty much created Pop!

    I know that it is a matter of opinion, but I think Jack White is part of EVERYTHING that is wrong with music at the moment.

    Maybe a night with the best band in the world will shake him a bit.
