Played about four songs, then spent a full 45 minutes talking about Walden fucking Pond. The crowd was about to storm the stage, so he played one more song and left.

On the other hand, the breakfast band (Innocence Mission) was great. They should have headlined the thing, and that dick should have just stayed home.
