LOL @ "100 Greatest Beatles songs!" Really curious to hear what Dave Grohl and Jack White have to say about that, I only have their opinions on everything else in the universe.

Apparently - two of them are supposed to be 'flying' (tripping), unbeknownst to the other two. I assume it's John and Paul ?
