Simpsons quote of the day: "Monstromart: Where shopping is a baffling ordeal."
Street Scene, San Diego, 2005.
Observations:
1. Lots of kids who listen to Snoop Dogg like weed. These kids also don't know how to appreciate the sheer genius of Jack White. Unless, of course, they are smoking weed -- which makes anything enjoyable to them.
2. The Flaming Lips are one of the most entertaining bands in the world to watch. They covered Queen's 'Bohmenian Rhapsody' and Black Sabbath's 'War Pig'. Brilliant.
3. The White Stripes are phenomenal. Jack White is insane. Meg White is a hero of mine. They made a believer out of me.
4. You should not cram 100,000 people into a large parking lot and expect them to all be able to leave at the same time on public transportation and not have a problem. Thankfully, Andy and I are 'thinkers' and we opted to have someone pick us up rather than wait for a trolley for 2 hours.
5. While I am not a fan of the whole festival concept, I must say that The White Stripes and Flaming Lips performances (not to mention Spoon) made the whole thing worthwhile. All of you, go out and buy the new White Stripes NOW.
that's all for now, folks.

oh man, Street Scene is always good. It keeps getting bigger and bigger. If I wasn't working like crazy, I would have totally gone.
