Taking a break from one festival to ponder another: Bill sent me an email link today to an article by Jim DeRogatis which speculates that Pearl Jam, the granddaddies of the 1992 Lollapalooza, may be set to take back that mantle for this year’s three-day concert madness in Chicago.
If you haven’t heard them reigning over their latest Who cover, I think that link is still active. If the news is true about Lolla, that would be awesome.

"I love the relationship that anyone has with music: because there's something in us that is beyond the reach of words, something that eludes and defies our best attempts to spit it out. It's the best part of us, probably, the richest and strangest part..."
—Nick Hornby, Songbook
"Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call it Inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel."
—Hunter S. Thompson
Mp3s are for sampling purposes, kinda like when they give you the cheese cube at Costco, knowing that you'll often go home with having bought the whole 7 lb. spiced Brie log. They are left up for a limited time. If you LIKE the music, go and support these artists, buy their schwag, go to their concerts, purchase their CDs/records and tell all your friends. Rock on.

The most intriguing thing is the article’s mention that the Lolla show would be part of a larger US tour. Another US tour? A year after their last one? Too good to be true?

well, Pearl Jam didnt make it down to Texas on their last tour, and they usually do 2 shows in Houston (Woodlands Pavilion, in Woodlands, TX), so I sure hope they are planning another tour leg.
