Lollapalooza
So, this past weekend I went to the mother of all
summer music
festivals, Lollapalooza. Held in Nobelsville, IN (just west or north or
south of Indy), it turned out to be one of the most memorable concerts
of my life. Let me explain.
First off, they offered pavillion seats to those with lawn tickets for
ten dollars, so naturally George and I took them up on it. Thank gawd
we did, because right before Queens of the Stone Age took the stage,
there was a Tornado warning, and everyone had to cram into the
pavillion. After this event, I would say that the lawn crowd got
suicidal. They ran out on the lawn while lightening was hitting the
ground. Then one jackass actually jumped off the roof of a shed.
Insanity. After the storms, the lawn crowd started a mudslide (which is
fine), then they started throwing mud at each other, then at the people
with real seats. Well, maybe if you jokers had thought ahead, you
could've had seats too.
Anyways, on to the music. Everyone was good except for Jane's
Addiction. Perry Farrel must have been taking prancing lessons from the
Mars Volta, because their set started with him prancing around like a 10
year old school girl. Audioslave clearly stole the show from headliners
Jane's Addiction. They came out, rocked, and the crowd ate it up. Lead
singer Chris Cornell thought Indiana was cool because we have
"fireworks, tornadoes, and all that God
s#@t!" Incubus was excited
because this was their first tornado ever. Queens rocked. Jurassic 5
was cool. The Donnas and Remmey were even happy that people sat through
their sets.
On a scale of 1 to 5, five being the highest, I'd give Lollapalooza a
four. It would have gotten a 5 if Jane's had stayed home.
This week's challenge (since no one answered last week's): What is the
name of Audioslave's debut album?
Until next time, rock you like a hurricane, Kelly :)
