I spoke to Roddy not 9 days ago.

I was so tempted to mention U2, but I didn't cos that would be nutty.

This makes me want to cry. Cry with anger. It also makes me realize how disappointed I am that I saw Kings of Leon twice when Europe gets different opening bands ever other night (and they're virtually all bands I absolutely love).

Tell me about it. If I don't love the band, I'm interested in hearing more from them and seeing them live.
