At Coachella we spotted a couple Moz tattoos. People probably got that ink based on Steven Patrick’s older work. The McCain disser, decked in an American Idol tee and jacket, doesn’t sound as great as he once did during this Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson performance, but then his band’s jacked-up so loudly, he seemingly has to drop some vocal smoothness for a semi-yowl just to keep apace.
