It's The 'Looza Baby, Why Don't You Kill It?

LOLLAPALOOZA once had the chance to be the greatest rock'n'roll circus the planet had ever seen. But, in spite of the live spectacle of VERVE, NICK CAVE, L7, SMASHING PUMPKINS and BEASTIE BOYS, this American dream no seems to have become no more than the sum of its musical parts. KEITH CAMERON, however, still finds the bands in high spirits in the face of half-full parking lots.
