Uphill battle: Wyclef Jean wants a Fugees reunion, but Lauryn Hill, who hasn’t recorded a studio album with new material since she walked away with five Grammys for 1998’s “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill,” is the show stopper. After the MTV Europe Awards, Jean told reporters that the hip-hop group, which sold 17 million copies of “The Score,” never broke up. “I want to do a Fugees record. You have to talk to Lauryn Hill. You have to talk to the girl,” he said. “The girl is the problem, not me.”

Love & theft: Dylan got a wacky introduction at MSG, when the announcer bellowed, “The poet laureate of rock ‘n’ roll. The voice of the promise of the ’60s counterculture. The guy who forced folk into bed with rock, who disappeared into a haze of substance abuse, who emerged to ‘find Jesus,’ who was written off as a has-been by the end of the ’80s, and who suddenly shifted gears and released some of the strongest music of his career beginning in the late ’90s.” The lines originally came from an article in the Buffalo News – Dylan liked them so much he made them into his intro.

Ryan’s Hope: Ryan Adams explains his Bryan Adams-related tantrum at the Ryman Auditorium to CMJ mag: “Between every f—ing song for eight songs, this drunk guy … was just f—ing going at it. And I ignored it as long as I could … I walked out in the audience … I said, ‘Look, here’s my own money; I’m paying you totally to leave … He just sat back down. I was shocked. Finally, what I said was, ‘I will not play another note until that guy is out of here.’ I’m not going to be humiliated in the middle of my own gig when I can change it. [And] of all the things you could bust me on. The Gap ad. Or my hair’s all f—ed up, or I probably look hung over or something … But that’s all he had. All he had was Bryan Adams songs. Maybe he actually thought he was going to see Bryan Adams.”
