Ocean songs

Talk about taking one for the team. There are war correspondents who would baulk at the prospect of being sent to cover Summer of '99 (aka the "Creed Cruise"), so credit to Luke Winkie for having the courage to go along and report back in the form of a Slate article. That said, his claim that the band's first performance of the weekend "was, without a doubt, one of the best rock shows I've ever seen" has me thinking he may have been suffering from shellshock or Stockholm syndrome.

Even more remarkable than Creed's apparently resurgent popularity among younger fans is the fact that frontman Scott Stapp has been cast as Frank Sinatra in a forthcoming biopic of Ronald Reagan. I'll give that a wide berth, thanks.
