WELL I DO'NT KNOW IF ANY OFF YOU ARE OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER A MUSIC FESTIVAL CALLED LOLLAPALOOZA BUT IT HAPPENED IN THE 1990'S WHICH IS RIGHT UP MY ALLEY BECASUE I WAS ALIVE THEN, LIVING LIFE TO THE FULLEST.
WELL WHEN SUMMER ROLLED AROUND A LIKED NOTHING, MORE THAN TO GO TO A FESTIVAL TO SEE SOME OF MY FAVORITE BAND'S, AND LOLLAPALOOZA WAS GREAT BECASUE THEY HAD IT ALL NOT JUST MUSIC, WELL THEIR WAS PROSTATUTE'S TO HAVE SEX WITH THEM, YOU COULD HAVE A FIST-FIGHT WITH A MIDGET AT THE SIDE-SHOW, THEIR WAS A PRISON MADE OF MIST-SPRAYER'S, NYPD OFFICER'S WOUDL CHASE YOU AROUND THE CONCERT SIGHT FOR FUN, AND THEIR WAS A WIDE ARRAY OF CHRISTMAS TREES TO LIGHT ON FIRE. FINALY A PLACE WHERE WE COUDL REALY LIVE!!!!
WELL BEFORE I WENT TO THE LOLLAPALOOZA FESTIVAL I HAD TO GET MY FEET 'WET' FIRST STARTING WITH OTHER CONSERT'S. WELL FIRST I WENT THE 'PARROT-HEAD' ROOT AND TRIED TO GET INTO JIMMIE BUFFET, BUT LET ME TELL YOU IT WAS AN OLDER SCENE, NOT REALLY THE PLACE FOR A GUY WHO WAS YOUNG LIKE I WAS THEN, HECK I EVEN RAN INTO MY OLD AUNTY AT ONE OF THOSE JIMMIE BUFFET GIGS, WELL SHE WAS TOTALLY WASTED AND I DO'NT THINK I NEED TO TELL YOU TWICE THAT I SAW THING'S NOT REALLY SUITED FOR HUMAN CONSUMPSION [UNLESS YOU THINK YOU'RE AUNTY BEING A LESBIAN IS SOME THING YOU WANT TO CONSUME INTO YOUR MIND AND BODY AND SPIRIT ---- TAKE IT FROM ME, LITTERALLY, I MEAN TAKE IT OUT OF ME, I WAS LIKE JESUS WALKING ON WATER IN A SEA OF ENCEST, TO QUOTE SHERLOCK HOMES]
WELL ANY WAYS AFTER A FEW ATTEMPT'S I DECIDED THAT IT WAS FINALLY TIME TO TAKE THE PLUNGE ---- WELL NOT INTO THE TOILET OF COARSE! I WAS GOING TO GO TO LOLLAPALOOZA.
WELL THE FIRST LOLLA [AS WE SAID BACK THEN] I ATTENDED WAS IN 1992.
MANY GREAT BANDS WHERE THEIR, SUCH AS RED HOT CHILLI PEPPERS AND FUGAZY AND JANE'S ADDICTION, BUT ONE OF MY FAVORITE BANDS PLAYING WAS SOUND GARDEN. DURING SOUND GARDEN'S CONCERT THE SINGER SAID, 'WELL THIS IS A SONG THAT IS GETTING POEPLE IN TROUBLE, BUT AS ALL ARE GROUPY'S KNOW WE LOVE TO GET IN A LITTLE BIT OF TROUBLE, SO LICK IT UP M*THERFUCKER$' AND THEN THE BAND JUTTED INTO THE SONG 'COP KILLER' BY ICE T. WELL THIS CREATED ALOT OF CONTRAVERSY BECASUE FOR TWO REASON'S: 1. THIS SONG WAS VERY SENSATIONAL AND EVEN PRESIDENT CLINTON HAD SPOKEN OUT AGAINST IT. 2. ICE T HIM-SELF WAS PLAYING LOLLAPALOOZA SO WHY WOULD SOUND GARDEN PLAYING HIS SONG? WELL I DO'NT VERY OFTEN AGREE WITH KURT LOADER BUT HE HIM-SELF POSITULATED THAT SOUND GARDEN WAS A RACIALIST BAND OF WHITE MEN TRYING TO SHOW THE BLACK MEN HOW TO PLAY HIS OWN SONG. WELL YOU NEVER SAW CANDLE-BOX TACKLING SKEE-LOW'S 'TALLER', SO I GUESS IT JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT EVEN A BLIND SQUIRRAL OCCASIONALY FINDS A NUT, WELL IN KURT LOADER'S CASE I THINK HE MIGHT SPEND TO MUCH TIME LOOKING FOR NUTS IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN [WHICH I THINK YOU DO], BUT ANY WAYS HE WAS RIGHT
WELL HOW EVER WHEN I HEARD THIS SONG, 'COP KILLER', I FELT ENERGIZED. WITH MANY OTHER AUDIANCE MEMBER'S I RUSHED THE BARRACADES, WE JUMPED OVER THEM AND RAN, INTO THE SEATS AREA AND WE SHUT IT DOWN, TOOK IT OVER TO PUT OUR FIST IN THE AIR AND SING OUT WITH OUTRAGEOUS TENDANCIES, 'COP KILLER, BETTER THEM THAN ME!!!' AND AT THAT TIME, IF THEIR HAD BEEN A POLICE MAN IN THE AUDIANCE, WELL HE PROBABLY WOULD OF HIDED HIS BADGE AND SILLY-CLUB BECASUE FOR THIS ONE MOMENT WE HAD TRUELY TAKEN OVER THE SITUATION FROM 'THE MAN'
WELL ANY WAYS IN RECENT YEAR'S MY MIND HAS MELLOWED FROM THIS EARLY EXPERIANCE AND I HAVE HAD MANY POSITIVE ENTERACTION'S WITH POLICE, MEN AND COPS, AND I HAVE COME, TO THINK OF THEM IN A MORE POSITIVE LIGHT IS A NATURAL DEVELOPMENT FOR AN ADULT. AFTER ALL, EVEN FLAVOR FLAVE CALLED 911 ONCE IN HIS LIFE, WHEN HE OVER-DOSED ON PAMPERS.
SO I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THIS HENRY LOUIS GATES JR SITUATION IN GREATER DETAIL, BECASUE IT SEEMS TO ME THAT PROFESSAR GATES WAS PROBABLY THEIR AT LOLLAPALOOZA 1992, BUT PERHAPS HE HAS'NT YET LEARNED THE TRUE LESSON OF COP KILLER, A.K.A., COPS ARE ON THE BEAT, FOR YOU.
WELL WE KNOW THIS MUCH: EVEN PROF GATES ADMITS THAT HIS FRONT DOOR WAS DAMAGED. A NEIGHBOR CALLED POLICE ABOUT TOW BLACK MEN BRAKING IN TO GATE'S HOUSE. O.K., WELL, HOW DID THE DOOR GET DAMAGE? WELL IT PROBABLY GOT DAMAGED FROM THE BLACK BURGLERS TRYING TO BRAKE INTO GATES' HOUSE! DUH!!!! SO PROBABLY GATES AND HIS MANSERVENT [I BELEIVE HIS NAME IS HUGGINS] SCARED THE BURGLERS AWAY! GOOD FOR THEM. AND IN THE MEAN TIME, THE POLICE ARRIVED TO HELP TO FOIL THE CRIME. GATES SHOULD OF THANKS THE FEAR-LESS POLICE FOR THEY'RE EFFORTS, WORKS AND INSPIRATIONS, BUT NO, HE HAD TO PLAY THE ICE T ROLE.
WELL THIS ICE T IS A LITTLE TO COLD FOR MY TASTES, AND THE POEPLE WHO KNOW ME KNOW THAT I DO'NT SAY THAT OFTEN BECASUE I LIKE MY ICE T REALLY COLD [PREFARABLY CRYSTAL LIGHT]. WELL I'M SURE THAT PROF GATES' AGAINST THE IRAQ WAR BUT HE DOES'NT HAVE TO IMITATE HIS HERO'S THE IRAQIAN'S SO MUCH THAT HE JUST ACTS SO UNGRATEFUL TO ARE BOYS IN UNIFORM. BUT I THINK THIS IS A PATTERN WE WILL SEE AGAIN AND AGAIN, WELL WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH, THE TOUGH GET GOING, AND THE UNGRATEFUL JUST ACT IN A NEGATIVE MANNER.

I'm not sure you have the lineups correct, friend. It doesn't matter though. I was at the first 4 LOLZIES and they all helped to shape who I am today - a faggot who pulls icicles from his nose while sticking nails in his dick. a real TOOL, kinda like Maynard Keenan.
ReplyDeleteOh shit! Body Count and the Ice man. Call and response:
ReplyDeleteCall: "Tell us what to do"
Ice: "Fuck you"
Chris Cornell is obviously part black. Doy, Roy.
Wait, JANG?! You're...you're...HARDCORE!
ReplyDeleteI saw this tour when it rolled through God's Litterbox(Phoenix, AZ) - and when Cornell launched into "Cop Killer," it was a sea of rich, spoiled, angry white kids freaking out. They lit the fucking lawn of the Amphitheater on fire.
ReplyDeleteAnd then when Ice Cube came out later(Ice-T was in 1991, Dawns & Dons) - the greater irony of race and music slapped me in the kisser. Nothing like seeing 17k white kids singing along to Ice Cube dropping bombs on them.
I remember turning and looking at the girl I conned into buying me a ticket, and asking her if she realized what she was seeing. her response?
"Ice Cube is so hot. I kind of wanna fuck him."
I rest my case.
P.S. - Ministry played that night as well. This was during Big Al's heroin phase, so they just blasted the shit out of everyone with white noise and pure volume. Kids were burning everything they could wrangle up. It was like that scene in "The Doors," only without topless indian girls and the space between Val Kilmer's teeth.
The year was 1992. This was one of the greatest concert experiences of my life.
ReplyDeleteLush kicked it off, and they were simply stellar. Miki Berenyi (sp?) is so beautiful and angellic you couldn't help but to fall in love.
Next up was Pearl Jam. Little did they know when they booked them that they'd actually be the biggest band on the bill. Riding high on the success of 'Alive' and 'Jeremy' and 'Even Flow' they were at the top of their game, like someone who had just fallen in love. Seeing them THERE and THEN was so phenomenal I've never seen them since, despite loving almost everything in their catalog - simply out of not wishing to taint this moment.
Then came the Jesus and Mary Chain. I hate them, so I went and got high instead. Hate me all you want, they blow.
Next up was Soundgarden, my favorite band in the world at the time. They ruled, unleashing their furious barrage of grunge upon all of us...then came the 'Cop Killer' moment.
On one hand, I was thrilled, I LOVED BC, and I loved Soundgarden, but it seemed coerced. They were trying to be a part of the 'fuck the system' in a way the band has or had never been. They simply were never about THAT, yet latched onto it because of it's immediate controversy. Had it been Ministry, I possibly would have felt differently. I'd seen them before, so this was a letdown. The greatest part of their set was the introduction music - because it was there that I was introduced to one of the greatest modern poets of our time. They were playing cuts from an album that was thrown together of works by Stephen Jesse Bernstein. THIS moment alone changed my life forever.
Now, onto the a huge dissappointment of my life..
Ice Cube. One of my all time heroes, despite 'Are We There Yet' - SHIT, at least he's not Puffy, trying to maintain he's something he's not! (answer: a faggot opportunist that latched onto the greatest *based on raw flow* rapper of all time and fucked his dead body for 'white' parties) ---SHIT, I'd take Eazy's GOP donations 50K times over that.
I got to see Ice Cube and his crew (guerillas in the mist, yet somehow without jungle fever)!!! I was a big fan since NWA, so I was in love. for the first 7 minutes.
Then my girlfriend (I was a teenager, she was my sole hole) didn't like it. (which was strange, because about a month after I dumped her she went over to the 'wigger' crew, trying to tell ME shit)
SO, I was stuck watching faggots stick 12 inch nails in their bodies, all the while hearing and pining for Ice Cube in the distance.
Then I returned for Ministry, and I can't add to ^^,
then being bored for 2 hours by RHCP, despite going into it loving them. Fuck if those guys weren't a wigger version of Phish (Yeah, I said it - they were ALTERNATIVE WIGGERS)
Maybe that was just because they had recently lost the only REAL soul of the band, as John Frusciante (sp?) had quit and they had a replacement faggot. either way, they were about 20% better than the few jam band shows I've been forced to attend.
"Fuck if those guys weren't a wigger version of Phish" = incredible assessment.
ReplyDeleteThe reason RHCP sucked hind teat that tour?
ReplyDeleteArik Marshall - the unfunkiest mulatto guitar player of all fucking time. Dude couldn't even pull off a simple jangle-funk riff like "Give It Away." Not to mention those fucking terrible Lightbulb costumes. Who the fuck can play with a 4 foot light bulb on their head?
Obviously not Arik Marshall.
P.S. - Temple Of The Dog played a mini-set on the sidestage during the hottest part of the day while JAMC were borrding onstage. I managed to catch the end of "Hunger Strike," and I thought I was going to die. That album they put out was my "waterbed" album at that time in my life. Nothing like eating some fine college pussy for two hours with that shit on repeat.
Now? Massive Attack - "Mezzanine." Best waterbed album of all time.
WELL 'SEAN' IT SONUDS LIKE IT WAS AN ALL-NIGHT THING, FOR YOU. WELL WHAT ABOTU 'FLEA' EXTOILING THE VIRTUE OF AN ICE T HOME-BOY ATTACKING J&MC AT THE END OF THE CONCERT SERIE'S?
