excerpt from an AP article on the MTV Video Music Awards:
One of the night's best jokes was silent: Napster founder Shawn Fanning
appearing on stage in a Metallica T-shirt. The heavy metal band is leading
the fight to stop Fanning's Internet song-sharing service.
``Nice shirt,'' MTV's Carson Daly said. Metallica's Lars Ulrich, sitting in
the audience, feigned sleep.

I can't imagine Lars having enough of a sense of humor about this situation
and issue to partake, but I could be wrong. Heck, if it were him, I'll be
impressed.
> "sure...sharing is cool ... when its not your stuff."
HA! Funny line. Can't imagine anyone taking that line seriously ... but
then, Eminem was a big winner so what do I know about the MTV crowd?
