Right when metal was switching to what today is called  "hair metal" my career took a turn. I took a job doing a morning show at a "classic rock" station in Austin. I did not enjoy the music there (and I think that was apparent) and I did not enjoy what was happening elsewhere. I guess it was kind of like the "lesser of two evils" to be thrust into the world of classic rock and be able to avoid the Poisons and Trixters of the world. I DID get to enjoy a few of the early bands like Ratt and Quiet Riot. More after the jump.

This year's edition of Chicago's annual Lollapalooza festival was the largest ever with over 100 acts and 270,000 people for the 3 day fest. The absolute highlight of course was the Foo Fighters wrapping up the gig on Sunday night. And not just because they're the Foo Fighters, but also because of the torrential downpour that caused a brief delay, until Dave and the boys went on and played for 2 hours in the rain.

As we previously reported in the Rock News, Dave Grohl kicked a fan out of the iTunes Festival in London. This was the show they streamed live on the internet. At least it was if you had an Apple thingy. Anyway here's video from the stream. It is not safe for work because unlike in my Rock News its not censored. But its awesome.
