Are you in America? Are going tonight? Well, if you don't know already, Perry Farrell's Lollapalooza is about to kick off tomorrow (August 3rd - 5th) in Grant Park in Chicago, and as ever, it's got a stellar line-up.

For your buck, you get Daft Punk, Pearl Jam, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Interpol, Muse, Patti Smith, The Roots, Iggy and The Stooges, King of Leon, The Black Keys (well worth watching), Amy Winehouse, LCD Soundsystem, the astounding Black Angels and loads more. Sounds like a great weekend to me. You can get your tickets from the very swish official website, but it might be a bit on the late side now.

With this weekend's Lollapalooza Music Festival in Chicago's Grant Park and next weekend's Ozzfest coming to Tinley Park,IL, we have to ask ourselves; did Generation X ever grow up?

Before I get into that, let me just say that comparing Ozzfest to the supposedly more hip & "cutting edge" Lollapalooza is like comparing Wal-Mart to Target. (Both are full of crap made in China, except that there is some sort of unwritten dignity about going to Target with the Gen X yuppies that would prefer no one knows of their undercover excursions into the more trailer-trashy Wal-Mart for some cheap barbecue grill.)

Anyway. There is something pathetic about a large portion of a generation that grew up in the 1990's that refuses to grow up.
The Ozzfest-going types have always been around. You know, dope-smoking, beer swilling rock fans that wear Harley t-shirts whether they own a Harley bike or not. The crazier thing about the 'Lollapalosers' is that its the same 'I refuse to age gracefully' mentality but with money and there is nothing more dangerous than stupid people with money.

Either way, its supposed to be real hot this weekend. At least those jerks that paid around $2,000 for the air-conditioned VIP viewing booths at Lollapalooza won't feel it. The rest of these dorks will be having to tow their kids around (you know, the kids with the 'Punk Lives' t-shirts their parents paid $45 bucks for out of some over-priced yuppie catalog) in the 100 degrees Fahrenheit weather.

Wow. Some retarded rebellion trip they are still on. A corporate sponsored one at that.

It only makes sense that oldsters like Patti Smith, Iggy Pop and of course, the 'Clown Prince of Darkness' himself (Ozzy Osbourne) will still be performing close to 40 years after they launched their rock music careers.
