I saw the first Lollapalooza in 1991. The lineup included the B***hole Surfers, the Violent Femmes, Siouxsie and the Banshees and other of my teenage favorites.
Times move on. I'm now in my late 30s with two kids, a husband, and a house. I was a liberal in 1991. I'm not anymore.
Lollapalooza, from the dated sounds of it (Morrissey? P.J. Harvey? The FLAMING LIPS?) hasn't grown or changed at all. I admit I'd rather hear the Lips than Britney Spears, but still...talk about an old-folks festival. And the old folks aren't paying $100 for tickets to outdoor rock fests anymore, either, unless it's the Stones.
Well, are you my twin? Change that to WANTED to see it in 1991, add one more kid, and I'll second what you just said.
