Eighteen hours into the MTV O Music Awards
The journey continues across the MIssissippi Delta for the O Music Awards
- We're a bit behind schedule and The Flaming Lips might or might not break the record. The night went buy like the speed of light and before we knew it we were in Jackson and then Hattiesburg where the entire town came out to see the performance at 7am. Here are highlights through the 18th hour.
- The entire town of Hattiesburg (or so it felt) came out at 7am for the next show.
