...."We wanted the attention on these terrific teens who have worked hard to get here and are playing great music. Let's not worry about what song they're playing," band booster President Legene White said.
The band will now play John Mellencamp's song "R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A."
"When Mr. Wilson was changing our show, we were like, 'How are we going to do this?' but it's worked out fine," band member Caitlin White said. "We just wanted it to be about the music, and about our show, and about us being there, and it's so awesome that we didn't want that distraction, and that's kind of why we chose to do the other piece."

Awesome for you, Caitlin, not so hot for MJ.
Now this final bit of weirdness from CNN:
- Mark Geragos, singer Michael Jackson's lawyer, said Tuesday that a charter airline company secretly videotaped conversations between him and Jackson on board a plane and attempted to shop the tapes to media outlets.
Geragos said he and Jackson were recorded while flying between Las Vegas, Nevada, and Santa Barbara, California, where the singer surrendered to authorities on suspicion of child molestation Thursday.
Geragos said his legal team obtained a restraining order from a court in Los Angeles that prohibits XtraJet, the airline that he said placed the cameras aboard the plane, from disseminating tapes of the conversations.
"We've also filed suit ... against the airline company, and we reserve the right to file suit against anyone and everyone who is remotely connected with what I think is one of the most outrageous acts that I've ever seen in my 20 years of practicing criminal law," Geragos told reporters in Los Angeles
I wonder what made them think they could get away with something like this - it's outrageous and obviously a violation of privacy.
