We’ll be done in about twenty minutes and then Third Eye Blind and Bush will be out. (crowd roars, then starts booing) No no, I like those guys, stop it.

You obviously want attention so we’re going to give you attention. Keep her right there. (Melissa and Jimmy start playing hoedown music) (singing) There I was in a mosh pit / wearin’ all black / I waved at Billy seven times / He knows I’m comin’ back / ‘Cause I’m a mosh pit queen, a mosh pit queen / Everybody knows my name, I’m a mosh pit queen. (Billy solos) Heh. I don’t know what that is, but uh... (Melissa and Jimmy stop) (Billy plays some light blues licks) Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. God bless.
