More Summerfest News.
How can I concentrate on the malicious negligence and savage greed being exposed daily by teh Bushies when the folks down by the Lakefront keep on - tantalizing me with bits and pieces of the news?
Besdies, you want the Hardcore 2-4? Check out firedoglake, Talking Points Memo. They do it BEST. I just regurgitate the revolting things I see, cover them with my own bile and put a bit of spin on, and thwok em onto this computer screen. It's not a pretty process for any, but then I guess politics ain't very pretty.
Except for Mitt. He's a Pretty Boy.
Listen:
The Classick Rox Tage was announced, at least the late nighters. Some good stuff here, even for the classick: We already knew about the Umlaut boys from NY, BOC.
TBA. They're excellent, they play everywhere.
INXS. Might be interesting to see what they do with the new singer. But then again, Hutchence was the lead guy for a reason, most bands can't deal with loss of a magnetic front man. (cough) Queen?
"All Four Original Members of Asia" Now that's a cumbersome name. Show up for the last song, otherwise it's a snoozer.
The New Cars. I like Todd-o, but this is such a maybe I can't MEH enough.
George Thorogood. Respeck knuckles to anyone who's been doing it that long. But I doubt I'll stop at this one.
Weird Al Yankovic!! Yes! The Polka Parodist returns! Last time he played S-Fest, a thunderstorm came through and they closed every stage down but the one Al was at, cuz it was under a freeway and thus protected. Al and 5,000 who were to stupid to go in out of the rain. Everyone had a wonderful time and no one shut off the beer.
Zelmo, it looks like this year might even be better than last year.

On the contrary, ASIA is a must-see. John Wetton (King Crimson) Carl Palmer (ELP) Steve Howe (Yes) and Geoff Downes (Buggles). Overblown, indulgent, cheese-pop prog-rockers. What's not to like?
ReplyDeleteB.B. King is a LIVING LEGEND that you should not miss. This guy IS old time blues.
Peter Frampton: what can I say except "BRING ME SOME FREAKIN' ROCK GUITAR, AND ROCK ME. AND WHILE YOU'RE AT IT, STICK THAT VOCODER IN YOUR PIEHOLE AND TELL ME YOU FEEL LIKE I DO". I will be camping out on the first row bleachers.
REO. Ridin' The Storm Out. Nuff said.
And don't forget Wolfmother at the Harley stage. These guys channel Zeppelin like nobody's business.
