Very nice article, and it helped me understand recent GPN history a bit better.  

BTW, the Lilith Fair site now lists 34 tour stops (no dates).  I wonder how many GPN will do? Lilith is good for exposure, I suppose, but the  sets will have to be pretty short.  

 On the Lilith artists page there are  photographs of 28 well known artists given first tier billing, while GPN  is among 50 artists I've never heard of in a second tier of tiny photos.  http://www.lilithfair.com/artists 
It's the only picture with men in it (save one) so props to Grace for being a team player.  

I have to remind myself that Grace is only 26, so be patient. I believe Eddie Vedder was 28 when "Ten" was a smash. 

So here's to GPN's  big breakthrough to first tier in 2010!
