Well, I guess I no longer have to research a believable yet potent ailment to come down with for the two days of Lollapalooza. Drag. This assertion bothered me, though:
When the lineup for this year's trek was announced, it was met with criticism that not many music fans, especially those in the middle of the country, would appreciate Morrissey, Sonic Youth, PJ Harvey and the String Cheese Incident, let alone smaller acts like Broken Social Scene, Sound Tribe Sector 9 and the Dresden Dolls.
While I applaude Middle America for not wanting to be subjected to the banality of String Cheese Incident and almost understand some trepidation with the scary fun that is the Dresden Dolls, I hope that's not true.
Speak to me, oh Heartland. You're not that unhip, are you?

Uh, yeah.
