      Oh man, I had forgotten about the Lyle Lovett atrocity....(probably to       try and protect my sanity)....I just don't understand how a guy who       influenced so many musicians...how it is they could not have put on a       better tribute to him...how about Elvis Costello? Elton John? Paul       McCartney? Tears for Fears? XTC? Christ, the list is endless....but       no...we get Hootie and the fricken Blowfish...              And I did like the Love and Mercy segment, but I couldn't help but       wonder if a lot of people who only know "the hits"..were going..."WTF?       When did the Beach Boys ever do this song? What the hell am I listening       to???" And it sure put people back in their seats...              "So, I'm sitting there hearing HAL say, "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I       can't do that...", and I'm thinkin, Damn!, I knew we should have gone       with a Mac..."
