Rage Against Unsafe Festival Behavior
Lollapalooza 08 was great. 3 days of Paulina Meatmarket brats and Inbev beers. Complaining would be dumb because I had a great time but I thought I would post a few observations.
Why did Goose Island bother? Because, when I think Goose Island, I think fish tacos….What?!? No beer at the Goose Island tent? And if we go to the specialty beer tent they only have 312? No Honkers at all?
There is nothing like seeing young pretty well adjusted girls screaming “I hurt myself today. To see if I still feel…”
I wasn’t expecting RATM to be the band stopping the show to make sure the crowd behaves. I couldn’t tell you how many of the people there than night were casual fans; but, during the last song, Killing in the name of, every single person seemed to know one part. “Fuck you I won’t do what you tell me!” And the crowd put all that audio equipment to shame. They were quite to begin with. When the crowd erupted there was no way to tell if the band was even playing anymore.
Obama didn’t show up. If he had, I would have missed him anyway. I’d rather see NIN.
If the bio says the band is from Texas by way of New Hampshire, they are not from Texas.
