The first Lollapalooza was fourteen years ago?!
Damn I’m old.
If you’re going today, do not miss The Dandy Warhols set. Ex and current Brian Jonestown Massacre types will be joining them on-stage for a big sloppy wet kiss of a reunion.
Also, this quote from today’s Trib makes me wanna kick somebody in the teeth.
You certainly wouldn’t have seen little kids at the first Lollapalooza, which featured such dark, confrontational acts as the Rollins Band, Nine Inch Nails and Ice-T.
“The first one was angrier,” Gershon said.
“Everyone was in college,” Calabrese added. “We were loud punks.”
“Even the younger people now seem a lot less punk,” Gershon said. “It’s more of a hippie crowd.”
Speak for yourselves you fucking hippies. I’m still angry. Yaaargh!
Also, when Liz Phair sings it sounds like she’s channeling Katherine Hepburn.
