Hello! Bad journalist alert!

It was the first set I listened to at Lollapalooza, and was to be my first interview. Ever. So, understandably, I suppose, I was a little nervous. I don't know why I should have been.

Hey everybody! I'm writing this from a laptop in the AT&T air conditioned tent. I made my way downtown this morning, checked in at the Hard Rock Hotel for an event later on tonight which I'll be covering, and hopped into a cab to the media entrance of Lollapalooza.

I've decided that I'm not just going to cover the festival and interview as many acts as I can, but I'm also going to keep you all updated on the entire process.

Being in the oft-derided entertainment industry and singing his punk rock music, one might think Iggy Pop had some strong political views. He's doing the voice of Lil' Rummy (Donald Rumsfeld) on Comedy Central's Lil' Bush, but he's not trying to say anything about politics.

"George Michael doing Wembley is a joke. Who cares? Our show is going to be massive. It's the pinnacle.
"I've been very cocky about it behind closed doors but I've been s**ting myself about it as well."
The real meaning of Yellow LedbetterSource: Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Anyway, speaking of Eddie's lyrics, what exactly is he saying in "Yellow Ledbetter?" Well, I found the below YouTube clip on the Stranger's Line Out blog and it may hold some answers. It was too good not to share.

In an effort to organize the articles I'll be writing about Lollapalooza 2007 in the coming months, as well as seeds regarding the festival, and articles written by other Newsvine members, I've started Lollapalooza 2007, the group.
