During my freshman year, April 2002, a rock band from Arizona played Penn State’s “Movin’ On” concert on the HUB lawn.
That’s right, through the rain and mud, the band Jimmy Eat World sang their No. 1 hit “The Sweetness” to us Penn State students.
“Are you listening? (Whoa oh-oh-oh-oh). Sing it back (whoa oh-oh-oh-oh). So tell me what do I need? (Tell me what do I need?),” howled lead singer Jim Adkins over the noise of our own feelings, our own desires, and our own thoughts.
Sort of like college football podcasts and media over the course of the past 48 hours.
