Iggy Pop wasn’t the only rocker to nearly bite the big one this afternoon: Peter Morén of Peter, Bjorn and John narrowly avoided a self-inflicted frontal lobotomy Sunday afternoon when he tried to greet some of his adoring fans.

Minutes into “The Chills” — the third song of the band’s set — the power to the stage cut out. The music — well, drummer John Eriksson continued to pound his kit, but it was barely audible — stopped dead. While workers toiled to try and restore power, Morén strolled up to the front of the stage and tried to jump down onto a platform about four feet from the ground. I’m not sure why, but he missed by a country mile, instead landing feet-first in a large, red garbage can filled with ice, freezing water, and bottles of Smart Water. As he did this, the garbage can tipped forward, dropping all of the water and ice onto the blacktop. Oh yeah, and Morén too; his head, literally coming within inches of the barricade in front of the stage.

Maybe the water was just that cold, or maybe he was trying to pull that “I meant to do that” cool guy move, but Morén was on his feet quick, brushing it all off. His pants and shoes were completely soaked, but that didn’t seem to stop him from signing about 50 autographs. The set continued, about 20 minutes later, and I did get to hear what, until now, I was calling “The Whistle Song” — a chick in the audience, with fangs (I kid you not, she had caps put on her teeth, and she has freakin’ fangs) told me that name of the tune, “Young Folks.”

Admittedly, I had never really gotten into this band before I saw them live, because I thought their name was beyond lame. But I had heard the song a gazillion times before, thanks to my co-worker, James Montgomery, who has played the record at least once a week since it came out a year ago. But I can honestly call myself a PB&J fan now – oh, and I like the sandwich, too.
