People are fed up. So the powers that be, in their corporate boardroom wisdom, have found a solution: Pumping fists at a massive and pricey concert in the middle of the summer, when the jungle fever drives the urban youth berserk. Not to be too cynical, this is an amazing line up: Rage Against the Machine reuniting, Muse landing their starship on stage, Lauryn Hill belting out enchanted blues-rap, and Rise Against playing their one hit -- who could ask for more? The only thing that's missing is making it free or affordable. (Tickets are $82.50-$113.25 to sit in the stands). It would be nice if System of a Down were on the bill. What will Chicago's Lollapalooza (featuring Muse, Eminem, Deadmau5, My Morning Jacket, the Foo Fighters, and some band called Coldplay) think about the competition? Or the L.A. leg of the annual pop-punk romp Warped Tour? Or the Southern California desert Bhakti Fest?
