Can't say I'm surprised, as I didn't even KNOW there was a Lollapalooza this year. I heard zero advertisements for the show.
Poor ticket sales are blamed, and while I like the Flaming Lips and Sonic Youth, I doubt I'd pay to see them along with Morrissey.

Thank you for your irrelevant opinion.

Right now the only fest that will draw based on a name at this point is Warped Tour, because all the 14 yr old Hot Topics mall denizens will go out no matter who is on the bill.
However, if this could somehow set it up so instead of sifting through String Cheese Incident fans at an ampitheatre, instead we get the Flaming Lips and The Polyphonic Spree on a single tour playing smaller venues, this then becomes the best news of the summer.
And Stagger, you have devoted a lot of posts to pointing out how much you are disinterested in Lollapalooza this year. Did Perry Farrell piss in your corn flakes one morning or something?

And depending on who's listening, I'm either a stupid, sheltered meathead or a good representative of the earth's population...but I don't know one damn thing Morissey sings. Nor do I want to. Nor do I care.
