Man, if they actually show up... holy crap. Seriously, if they're coming, I am grabbing a ticket immediately. Like, right now. How much are tickets even gonna be??!!!
Man, what I loved most back in 2008 was...

Even Black Kids - I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend to Dance in Light http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaa4eGOtrTg
Oh, and honestly, Alicia Keys & Jack White - Another Way to Die http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hM5UJvnbbuY wasn't bad at all... though I guess Alicia's got a pretty heavy heart, if you ask me...
So yeah. That’s basically it. Nothing else really stuck with me.
epic poetry breakdown:
epic poems—honestly? I can't think of a single modern one, even if we're talking rock music or something along those lines... maybe some old Springsteen tracks or something
epics—I guess you could say *The Grapes of Wrath* fits the bill somewhere in there
romances—it’s always more moving when they focus on the tragic stuff rather than just having a happy little kiss at the end, but people don't really seem to register that part
ballads—if anything, most things I think of fall under ballads
poems—same deal, I haven't got a clue about any recent ones, especially anything that isn't super sanitized and bland(!)
So, just so we aren't all confused, maybe we should pivot this topic to "best ballads/romances" ------- actually, let's just stick to "best ballads" -------- basically, the best stuff where the emphasis is on the action, or maybe a 50-50 split between action and feelings, provided there are actual words involved.
Does a thread like that already exist?
Or we could just go at it with purebred epic poetry, but let's be real, that’s gonna be pretty boring.

So, does an epic poem count if it’s got those lyrical vibes mixed in—you know, like a ballad or a romance (if that's even the right term, I guess???)—or does it have to be, like, hardcore epic?
Honestly, I can't stand any of those massive, overblown epics.
Is Telegraph Road British? I’m leaning towards yeah, it totally is.
