Aren't you the same person responsible for putting nsync on the cover of a magazine AFTER their popularity waned?

An acoustic mandolin version of "The Guns of Brixton"? The Good, The Bad & The Queen played it at their show in Bristol a few days ago, and they closed with "Brixton". From the sounds of the article, it was a spine-tingling moment. And as much as I like the Arcade Fire, is anyone else worried that they're getting a little bit too much, too soon? Performing their hit tune with David Bowie? Check. Playing "Love Will Tear Us Apart" with U2? Check. Acoustic cover of "The Guns of Brixton"? Check. Some bands work for years to get within spitting distance of their idols, whereas the AF are living the dream after just one album. But if Neon Bible turns out well, I guess they have reason to boast.
