Not much to say, but two things:

First, I will never get over the fact that The Who's first single was so strong, captured their sound and soul so perfectly, that it was their concert opener for virtually every concert they did for 20 years. And it still rocks.

Second, I'm really glad that O Brother had the success it did, and I'm very happy for all the artists experiencing often-unprecedented popularity. But as someone who was looking forward to the movie over a year before it came out (based not on the Cohens, of whom I'm not a fan, but on the nexus of The Odyssey and musicians like Emmylou and Gillian), I always feel like one of those insufferable hipsters who were into the band before they got big. Well, this time, I really was.
