Outside Lands - 3 day San francisco Music Festival - Look at that Line Up!

Holy Crap. Holy Crap. Holy Crap. Have you seen the line up for "Outside Lands" in San Francisco August 22nd-24th? Reeeeeediiiiicuuulous. Radiohead and Beck Headline the first night with Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, Ben Harper and The Innocent Criminals and Primus headlining the second night (what!?) and to top the final night off we have Jack Johnson, Wilco, and Widespread Panic (I could probably due with out Jack Johnson and Widespread...but The Mother Hips are playing!) Oh yeah, STEVE WINWOOD is playing the second night...STEVE WINWOOD!? WHAT!? Normally I'd think fuck seeing Steve Winwood on his own, but right now a little ex-traffic action sounds pretty damn cool in this kick ass summer weather we're having. Long story short...What a great 3 days and at $80 something a ticket you get to see over 10 bands as opposed to just seeing one...ticket prices really suck these days and upon reading an article in Spin magazine on who is making the money in the music industry it's the PROMOTERS because they know we'll pay an arm,leg and a left nut to see our favorite bands. Fuckers.
