    Amy won't make it or she'll be booed off because her drug addiction won't help her performance. What a waste.

    Good bill...a lot of these bands, like Franz Ferdinarnd and The Courteeners, are rarely seen in the US. McCartney is excellent live, regardless of you age. Noah and the Whale is unique.

    Sir Paul wrote the book on rocking without being a dirtbag. I wish I could go.

    It would be great if not for Amy Whinehouse, that girl needs to stay out of the light for a little while and "fix" herself. Luckily Britney saved herself, I don't see Amy doing the same and ending up deceased soon.
