OK, listen, residents of the British Isles. When I, in my post about the UK’s Vodafone Live Music Awards last month, wrote “I don’t want to ask for too much, but if the Spice Girls could beat out Led Zeppelin [in the Best Live Return category] somehow, I’d be rather pleased.” last month, I wasn’t entirely being serious.
