Is it me or do all music festivals have to have ridiculous names? Lollopalooza is pretty dumb. Bonnoroo sounds like there will be an overwhelming amount of patchouli and hacky sacking to enjoy. And then there’s Sasquatch! who could probably use a few dabs of the oil to hide that hundred-year-old stench.
But, in reality, it could be called Colon-Cleanse-fest 2007, and as long as Bjork, Interpol, Blackalicious and Tokyo Police Club are playing, I might have to go buy a tent and a clothes pin for my nose.
