The moment past, but I think I can share this with you: A little while ago Jason played Africa by The Meters. Some time ago I saw Daniel Lanois. Half way through the show Harry Dean Stanton shuffled out on the stage, picked up one of Daniel's guitars and sang Africa.

It was weird and funny in equal measures.
