I like the NERD in you

Ah yes, another corproate-sponsored summer mega-tour, this one from the folks at Sprite. The Sprite Liquid Mix Tour begins in August and will feature Jay-Z (headlining), 311, Hoobastank, Nappy Roots and N.E.R.D., amongst others. According to Sprite bigwig Darryl Cobbin, "This tour recognizes peoples's thirst for expression--where everyone has the opportunity to experience and participate in various forms of self-expression everyday." Um, OK.
