And that's a bummer, but Jenny Lewis just played a beautiful set, and right now Heart is doing "Rain Song", so I'm still enjoying this very much.

do bands get invited to this, or do they basically call up and say 'hey, we'd like to do this'?

Good song.

But it's not even one of the best songs Tom ever created.

Not even one of the hundred best songs Tom ever created.
