The boys were voted #1 live band (in the world I assume). Cool picture on page 110 of the band looking like pimps, pioneers and one Indian. Looks like the pic was snapped around New Years in San Fran.
Verily cool mississsippi_goddam--P.S. I love Nina too!
Hell yes!

QuoteHell yes!
Who did they beat?

Very Good to hear! I love Esquire Magazine and I love My Morning Jacket. :)
Good thing I'm rarely without my digital camera. I was at the bookstore and remembered to take a pic. (I'm too cheap to buy it ;))
