 Coming back to the office this afternoon, I passed a minivan with Tennessee plates and a bumper sticker that said "WWMD?" and had a picture of the Miserable One.  
 
 Who knew?

Are you really sure it wasnt a picture of Elvis? [/b]

Then he'd have to be called MELVIS!

eh heh hem...
 let me clear up a couple misconceptions...
 yes, i work.
 no, i don't work for the dmv.
 yes, i have a sense of humor.
 yes, i live in a common abode, wired with the modern electric light and hot and cold water.
 no, i don't grow my own food, though i do get a farm share from Jug Bay Farm weekly.
 no, i wasn't on the grassy knoll and, in fact, hadn't been born yet.
 
 now, back to the Coachella/Lolla thing.
 
 I went to Coachella for the experience-- so many great bands, camping in the desert, the art, the film fest, the bands, and did i mention the bands.  I went because I knew I wouldn't see Radiohead again this year and because other bands were in that category too.  The Pixies hadn't announced the full reunion tour yet, either, so I was unsure whether I'd see them elsewhere.
 
 Lolla, on the other hand, is in the suburbs.  No camping.  Bands who tour regularly, or that will be back later, etc.  And let's face it, the name Lollapalooza is associated with Nirvana and Pearl Jam, not with bands like the Pixies.  It's possible that they would have had more luck selling tickets if they had come up with a new name.
 
 Except for that Modest Mouse curse.  Grumble.

Thanks!
 
 Actually I had been meaning to ask you about one of your customers.... He keeps buying furniture from Lulu....

Lollapalooza's troubles might have more to do with musical trends than the health of the concert industry, says promoter Seth Hurwitz, who had booked the now-canceled show at Merriweather.
 
 "It's genuinely an alternative-music problem," Hurwitz says. "The audience for true alternative rock just isn't that big anymore. Lollapalooza was big in the early '90s, when the scene was exploding, when you had bands like Pearl Jam and Nirvana, and it was something new and truly alternative. Now you turn on the TV and everyone is pierced. I saw 'Shrek 2' the other day, and there's scene in it where one of the characters crowd-surfs."
 

That's one of tour problem they had last year, and they had this year. Other than the ticket prices, Alternative music has nothing new to offer. Not only that, other music genres like pop, hip-hop, modern rock and metal has taken over the music spectrum.
 
 If the tour was targeting fans under 21, The tickets prices should under $25. IN addition, the 2 day event should been on a Saturday and Sunday or Friday and Saturday insted of the middle of the week.
 
 They should have planned this tour much better.

A current customer or one of the "I hate that creepy mini sales manager in Arlington" club?

Now that is just plain silly.
 Although, I do like the off-shoot name "Slice O'Palooza". A slice is nice.

You can't realistically schedule an entire tour for weekends-only.  There were plenty of weekend dates on this tour.

What do you consider "alternative music" and how does it differ from "modern rock?"  Seems like two names for the same thing.
