Yeah that does piss me off, but it's dumb reason not to go.

But you have to think about it rationally, when you have a LOT of musicians booked and you're expecting a huge turnout, it's better to have different bands playing at the same time, if they didn't they would have to stretch it out for god knows how long and nobody wants that. Not to mention it would mean having to have it all in one place, full of god knows how many people camping out, for 3 days.

Screw that. Not everyone wants to go to Bonaroo.

Well that and the fact that they are too overpriced. Not just the festival itself but any refreshments or food that are being sold. Also if you live far away there's gas, lodging, restaurants... Bottom line is if you're shelling out a lot of money you at least want to see all the bands that you like.

True, I'm from Tennessee and Chicago is a very long drive. Fortunately my brother and friends will have the gas money covered, since they actually have money and I really don't, in fact I'm gonna have to mooch off family members to even get the money for tickets and food.

But it will be worth it for me, I've never been to a good show. I went to a damn Saliva concert, I'm not gonna pass up Radiohead, forget it.

What part of TN? I lived in Nashville for 3 years.

How do you choose between The Black Keys and Gogol Bordello?

I dunno. I really enjoy the blues but I might skive it off to see the godless wankery that is Eugene Hutz.

In all honesty, I wouldn't spend that much money to go to Lollapalooza, especially when Radiohead is playing in Ohio on August 8 (i.e. much MUCH closer to me). Maybe Rage is worth it. Maybe.

I'd especially love to see the Gutter Twins, Broken Social Scene and The National.
