OT: Music festival line ups
If you could have a collection of favorite artists for a music festival, who would you pick.
I would definitely choose Prince for so many reasons. He is absolutely phenomenal. I have seen him many times but he always put on a good show.
Additional options include Santana, Lenny Kravitz, Beatles, INXS, Depeche Mode and U2.
You're only given a little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it. — Robin Williams

I have tickets for the Stones at US Bank for May 16th. Planned on going with a bunch of friends with a pre-concert and post concert party at a friends house in Golden Valley. Yep, got postponed.

it will all get cancelled..
I forgot all about The Clash too...
When I first heard The London Calling Album, my world changed forever...
Kinda like hearing Pink Floyd's Meddle for the 1st time.
Of course I would have to have Queen perform. Bob Marley, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, The Doors, Blondie and Talking Heads too.
uncle tupelo??? awesome
just saw Wilco live in Madison WI at the Sylvie. Amazing show, by far Americas best band over the last 3 decades

Saw Uncle Tupelo about 5 times. The first at the Lounge Axe in Chicago '92. In fact, I have a photo of the guys on my fridge that was taken about 5 seconds after the photo of them on their wiki page. Legends.
I'm sure I've seen various combos of UT, Son Volt, Wilco, Jeff and Jay over a dozen times. Great thing about Jeff live is that he's a great story teller. If you haven't seen him tell this story about running into Jay in Mexico, it's absolutely hysterical...
