Anyway, the problem I had with Sheryl Crow's performance that night was that, although she seemed to be having fun, her performance seemed to be more "show" and "attitude" than quality. I'll give her points for emotion, but I didn't think it was a great performance. Just an opinion, of course!

You can also get them on campus at the communications building, but the word on the street is that they are distributed at random times and usually only the people actually in the building at that precise moment ever get them. I've been in our beautiful city 8 years now and still haven't seen a taping!
