Today was the opening of Lolla in Chicago under a beautiful August sky and its 8 alternating stages of music. Started off the day with The Walkmen,Mavis Staples and American Bang (good rockers who love beer and topless women). Followed by the Drive-By Truckers and the New Pornographers (with an excellent Neko Case).We missed the pop fun of Devo (lots of fans in costume, or you could buy a helmet for $35!)The Black Keys rocked hard as always,followed by veteran reggae man, Jimmy Cliff.But the guys who stole the show in my opinion, stuck on a lil side stage, were Neon Trees. They rocked and Tyler Glen, the vocalist - keyboardist was great. What a personality! Check them out. Here is a youtube clip. [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfqTUmv4w34[/url]
Watched the opening of Lady Ga Ga - we were gone half way thru the second song. What a ham. Not for me.
ps got some pics but my technician (son) has to load them for me-lol.

I was looking forward to her actually, kinda the new Madonna ;')-
but she was so slow and dramatic at the beginning - to quote lovebeam - Zzzzzzzzzz. Plus it had been along, hot day. Still two more to go.Met two Aussies from NSW- nice guys.
