Looks like they are expecting some long sets, since I think last years ended around 12:30am. He wanted to play longer last time, but said the ordinances were keeping him from going till 3am supposedly.
Regarding the apathy on the board, I'm more sure it's the taste of music of frequenters of the threads here. Less fo the mellow and more of the harder stuff. I personally can't find myself getting excited about Marylin Manson or Pavement... must have missed that period in my listening-hood.
I've heard people raggin about his sets, but last years was fine. He's just, as it reads, a very public kind of guy. The first review I ever read of him mentioned his stopping-and-starting of songs. Doesn't bother me at all. Of course these are the same types of folks that bitched when the Beastie Boys did a 45 minute set straight through after being a few hours late due to weather. Hell, I waited through rain and mud for a Grateful Dead show to start not once, but twice at two different venues. These are the kind of folks that probably woudl wince and moan if they had to see an outdoor concert, let a lone one with a roof and plenty of alcohol nearby.
See ya at the show.
