Saturday Night Live

When Arcade Fire backed Mick Jagger for three songs on Saturday Night Live last night (May 19), those red patches the band were wearing weren't fashion statements, but very pointed acts of protest in support of Quebec students who were quite literally setting fires in Montreal at the same time.

The Montreal-based band have clearly chosen a side in Quebec students' months-long fight with provincial government officials over tuition hikes and the province's new and very Big Brother law known as Bill 78 designed to snuff out protests. The red patches are one of the symbols of student resistance against these government measures.

The law, which has drawn criticism from civil rights advocates, prohibits protests of more than 50 people taking place without organizers checking in with police in advance, and threatens heavy fines against student leaders and student groups who organize protests. A related by-law just launched by the city prevents anyone at a protest from wearing a mask.

Peter Jones, a British-born drummer best known for his mid-1990s stint in the Australian rock band Crowded House, has died of brain cancer, according to numerous websites. He was 45.

Jones joined in 1994, after founding drummer Paul Hester quit the group. He stayed on until 1996, when the band split up, but did not return a decade later, when New Zealand-born frontman Neil Finn reunited the hit-making foursome.

"We remember him as a warm-hearted, funny and talented man, who was a valuable member of Crowded House," the band said in a statement. "He played with style and spirit. We salute him and send our love and best thoughts to his family and friends."

With Mick Jagger, "Saturday Night Live" got two, if not three, hosts in one. On last night's season finale, the Rolling Stones legend showed off his musical skills, of course, performing a medley with the Foo Fighters -- "19th Nervous Breakdown" and "It's Only Rock 'n Roll (But I Like It)" -- and three songs with the Arcade Fire.

The latter backed him first on "19th Nervous Breakdown" and returned for "She's Like a Rainbow" and "Ruby Tuesday," which came during a graduation-theme sketch likely meant as a farewell to 'SNL' cast member Kristen Wiig, who's rumored to be leaving the show.

Jagger also played political pundit, teaming up with guitar great Jeff Beck for "Tea Party," a blues tune Mick penned about the upcoming election.

It’s time to start preparing for festival season. Just make sure you don’t peak too early…

Olympians aren’t the only people training this summer. As dedicated rave athletes, building muscle in our pint arms, sprinting for night buses, doping our urine samples, enduring marathon all-nighters and making ourselves hoarse through endless three-day-events is the way we roll. We are prepping for festival season, and a strong warm-up will lead us to glory.
