I remember fondly when Lollapalooza drifted through town with hardly a mention on Q101. With a line-up that included Jane's Addiction and the Rollin's Band, a Jackopierce/DMB-loving high schooler like myself would never consider attending such an overtly anti-Aware manifestation of mass concert chaos.
But oh how things change in 10 years!
Now, I can think of no better reason to go back to the Windy City for the weekend (August 4th-6th) than to see the best line-up of bands I have ever beheld on one schedule at this year's Lollapalooza in Grant Park. It is pure concert heaven!
The gals and I have already decided to descend on Chicago for a weekend of music and my Mummy.
