What If the World Became One Huge Music Festival?
What I love about music is that it has the ability to bring so many people together as one. It doesn’t matter if you’re white, black, Democratic, Republican – when we like a song, we’re united in harmony. We’re all in the moment enjoying the melody and enjoying the music that inspires us. Perhaps that’s why events like Woodstock in the past and the annual Lollapalooza gatherings were so successful. There are no competitions – just straight-up music from people who have words of wisdom to spread or stories to share.
Speaking of which, Lollapalooza will take place on August 1-3, 2008 at Grant Park in Chicago. I visited Chicago for the first time last summer and now I understand why Grant Park is definitely the perfect venue for this event. The lineup for this year includes big names such as Radiohead, Rage Against the Machine, Kanye West, and Nine Inch Nails – along with other other artists I’m not too familiar with.
