Yonder! In the distance I can see Memorial Day, which means summer is officially beginning. That also means the concert season is about to kick it into high gear, and bands are hitting the road for the next four months.
Luckily, this means we get a much better batch of musical guests on talk shows. For proof, look no further than this week’s lineup. If you like Blink 182 and Eminem, you’ll be thrilled each band appears twice this week. If you hate them, well, you can go to sleep early.
Still, you’ve got Sam “The Softy” Beam aka Iron & Wine, Lollapalooza 2008’s WTF? act Dierks Bentley, minister’s daughter Tori Amos and returning champs Green Day. Surely you can find something to love about that.
