And Gwar gets passed up yet again. When are people going to learn? Nothing compliments paying seven bucks for "samples" quite like the musical stylings of a bunch of guys in masks and shoulder pads hosing the audience down with blood while the sing their latest chart topper: "Blood Bath and Beyond".

I may tough it out to the taste just to see Stevie. Already missed the Black Crowes last year and hate myself for it. What would really be good is for Stevie to hit the road proper once again like last year. C'mon Stevie!

Ahhhh the Taste of Chicago, where black gang bangers from Ford Heights and fat white chicks from Indiana- and places like Wheeling -meet! And there, passed out drunk on the lawn,is Spav1 surrounded by her Lincoln Park All American girl posse. Ahhhhhhh a lovely day

No, but Milwaukee and Chicago switch that week. You want to find a Chicago resident the week of the Taste? They're all in Milwaukee at Summerfest.

fuck yes! i can! look, i realize that the man got all wrapped up into a bunch of garbage - american idol, crap duets, you name it. but you can't front on stevie fucking wonder. you just can't. the man is a badass for life. honestly. i mean, "innervisions"? he could write toothpaste jingles for the rest of his career, and he'd still be the king shit of badass mountain. period. if i can survive 110 degree heat and a bunch of obnoxious, ironically dressed 13-year olds to see radiohead @ lolla, i certainly can brave the teva sandal and jimmy buffet t-shirt wearing set to rage out to master blaster.

All I remember from last years Taste was trip after trip to CVS for 6 packs to sneak in and then passing out in the grass before John Mayer came on.

I'm tight, joe, I'm tight! I just can't do it I love Steve and all, but I can't do "Taste of Chicago", I'm sorry!
