I still love Sting, aging rocker that he is. I think I was possibly the youngest person there.

I cant recall if I said this before, but I Hung My Head is a cool song to me becasue it is in 9/8 time. Cash's version is changed to 4/4 which feels more authentic to the style of the lyrics, but totally loses the unique aspect fo the song, in my mind. I assume that Sting perfromed it in 9/8 time?
