Rock On
(BC during quiet part: Long live rock and roll. Long live rock and roll. I wish I believed that because, yes, for the rest of our lives we’re going to be listening to Britney Spears, but...long live rock and roll. Long live rock and roll! All of 'N Sync and Britney and Christina and Mandy are all gonna have children and then we’re gonna have to listen to them too. Long live rock and roll!)

(BC alt lyrics: You may ask yourself, why do we have a wrestler for a governor? You might ask yourself, at least he knows how to pile drive the other governors.)
[encore break]
Iha: Hey, thanks a lot, you guys have been really great tonight. You rock, Minnesota. How is everybody doing? Are you completely rocked out at this point? You never want to hear rock music again? No, you want more. We’ll rock for Melissa. But first, a quick introduction. On the bass (pronounced like the fish) guitar, Melissa Auf der Maur. She’s from Canada and she’s a socialist. Back on the drum seat again, Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin. Rocking like nobody’s business. On the guitar and vocals, Mr. Billy Corgan. And, uh, on the e-bow, uh, me, James, thanks.
Fuck You
Mayonaise
Iha: Thanks. Take care of yourself, Minneapolis. People of Rochester Hills(?). Thank you.
