Okay. Okay. So U2 was robed this time. Wow. Both friggin’ awards, you can’t even say because we didn’t expect it at all. We can’t thank our management enough, and our tour support everybody from Anthony to Dave.

I think we had no idea we were going to win this.

I think Fatboy Slim was robbed, honestly.

We want to thank Wayne for making a great video and most of all thank our lord up above. The privilege every day we have on this planet.

Man, this is kind of shocking. Our families, Johnny, who is like a second father to us.
