Such repetitious first-person self-aggrandizement is the stuff of senility. Grandpa, it's time to retire.

Ya got me there   :p  . Yup, I meant third-person.

I still can't for the life of me figure out why it wouldn't do HFS good to broaden their fanbase a tad.  It wasn't too many years ago that hfs would bring in some bands we half liked to see.  I suppose it is the whole clearchannel, sony/bmg, etc. etc. etc thing.  I'm not saying that HFS can't show a few bands that "suck"... but all of them?  The sad part is that while the choice for most of us is an easy one, there will be legions of people with many too many piercings flocking to a show such as this one.  Generation gap... or just plain ignorance?

what a great lineup....for me to poop on
 
 ack....it's nice to so though to see that there are people who remember when HFS used to be a damn good radio station, and not the load of crap that it is today

I personally miss WXRT in Chicago...WHFS played some good stuff too, but in an hour on WXRT you used to hear everything from Bob Mould to Little Feat to Pop Will Eat Itself to the Clash to Patti Smith to Warren Zevon. It was a fantastic station back in the day. I didn't always like everything they played, but at least they had programs like the Big Beat (showcasing indie rock). That's how I discovered Dinosaur Jr., Sonic Youth, etc. before majors had touched any of them. Not to mention every Sunday night they would broadcast a concert recorded from a couple of months earlier. I recorded a Pixies show and that was it for me. It opened the floodgates to so much other music that I still treasure today. Long live WXRT.

i also think hfs should branch out, but nothing can save them now.  but remember what we think doesn't matter this concert will do fine, its perfectly mainstream shit.
