EW '08 Great Performances

[kydiddle]

Today's Entertainment Weekly listed MMJ at Bonnaroo as one of the best performances of the year:

"From midnight to 4 a.m. on the second night, 35,000 people stood in a Tennessee downpour to witness the band manipulate what felt like the very fabric of the universe. MMJ were otherworldly, reaching their peak on "One Big Holiday"; Metallica's Kirk Hammett joined in for the opening arpeggios, and the sky cracked open wide, pelting the crowd with raindrops that mingled with glow sticks to summon a joyous group catharsis." -- Whitney Patorek

It's kind of disturbing to see a picture of Jim singing in the straw hat next to a picture of Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Joy Behar giving each other a fist bump, but the write up was a nice shout out to the band.
