by the way, http://sxsw.com/music/live

I was able to listen to a little bit, but was glad to see that it'll be archived to enjoy later.

But, I did get to hear these two gems -

- He discusses "doo-wop" as "The sound of the snaps of the bras popping across the U.S.A", and then connects it to the beginning of "Backstreets".

- He does the beginning of the Animals' "We Gotta Get Out of This Place", and then says, "That's every song I have ever written."

Also - couldn't help noticing the places from which people were posting comments. They are from all over the world.
