After reading all the Coachella coverage I’m in a festival state of mind. Therefore, I look at this week’s lineup and say that I’d gladly pay to see this group of musicians under one festival tent. An impromptu collaboration between Rob Zombie, New Kids On the Block, and Jennifer Lopez for a winning cover of “Paranoid Android” anyone? No? Just me?
That said, as varied as the guests are this week, I have to hand it to Leno for the first time in, well, forever. His lineup is solid and surprisingly relevant for his show. (Well, Smashing Pumpkins 2010 not included.)
