Black America specifically not singing Ringo? I mean, I'm fine with that! Just wondering if it was a specific choice or a coincidence that just no one wanted "Octopus's Garden."
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:19pm
Mariano:

Wowww, had no idea the Stairsteps did a cover of Dear Prudence. It's the only one I've heard that preserves the bass line, which is my favorite part.

Handy: I've heard a soul version of "It Don't Come Easy", can't remember who it was, maybe Aretha. Pretty damn good too. Then again, a soul treatment can make any song good.

Reminds me of Jane's Addiction a bit, this Aphrodite's Child. Speaking of whom... you never seem to hear much JA these days. When they came out they were like the second coming gauging from the way many friends of mine went crazy for them.

I think that a lot, Mariano. I was and am a big fan. There was Porno for Pyros the other day on ... WarWake and Bake? No, Mark Hurst played it! Ha!

But with all the bootlegs out there, I'm surprised not hear them a bit more?

Hahaa, when I saw that 1st Lolla, Siouxsie reminded us that "this will not be another fucking Woodstock!" Jane's, NIN, Buttholes and Body Count were all great. Too many onstage guns tho.. ahhh, the early 90s!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:37pm
Mariano:

johnk77: I went to the one in Kansas. Highlights for me were definitely Butthole Surfers and Siouxsie, but in general I'm not a huge festival fan, especially for seeing a band like Butthole Surfers.

That was a cool set, Handy: huge statue of a reclining Buddha iirc. And yeah Scott, of course Gibby had his shotgun.

Body Count did sound really good, though. I saw it in Atlanta. Body Count was a big hit.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:42pm
Uncle Michael:

Bodycount was easily the loudest band I ever heard.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:44pm
Mariano:

You know, I don't remember, Scott: Body Count was where I decided to brave the concession/bathroom line (over an hour), so all I heard was a loud 'I'M ICE MUTHAFUCKIN' T!" and then the band kicked in. I do remember a woman from an activist group getting into an argument with him over his violent lyrics. That just happened to go down steps from where I was standing, I think it was being filmed for MTV.

Festivals nowadays are out of control. At least Lollapalooza was about music when it started.

Also, Janes Addiction was big in that brief 1990s window before Nirvana and grunge overwhelmed everything. Then American indie rock became it’s own “Meh…” scene.

Before that Janes Addiction and tons of genuinely interesting Brit indie bands were out there.

All I can say about Janes Addiction is that they were/are so much better than Red Hot Chili Peppers.

The Furs were supposed to play here in New Orleans in April, really bummed about missing it. I still love the Smiths, despite what Morrissey turned into later. A while back I found a Smiths doc on YT. When they first started out, there was a fifth member, but they kicked him out because he was too much of a bloke: he was married, had kids, etc., didn't go with the overall vibe. He got the shaft, just like Clarence the fifth Beatle.

Melanie herself sang this song. 2,3 summers ago at a free Lincoln center (Central Park?) event. She said "they kept delaying me from singing till about 2 or 3am. And when I did, I felt transformed, an out of body experience." So lovely.
