Second rate is subjective. I'd rather see a band on their way up than a dinosaur who should realize they had their time in the spotlight 20-40 years ago and perhaps it's time to let the kids take over.

Well musicians have to make a living, they can't stop playing just because they're no longer current. If the song was good 40 years ago it's a good song now.

It's lollapalooza...that's not even including the many aftershows you can attend throughout the city after the fest each night

Sun is shining, the weather is sweet
Make you want to move your dancing feet
To the rescue, here i am
Want you to know, y'all, where i stand

When the morning gathers the rainbow
Want you to know i'm a rainbow too
So to the rescue, here i am
Want you to know just if you can
Where i stand, know, know, know, know, know

We'll lift our heads and give jah praises (repeat)
Sun is shining, the weather is sweet
Make you want to move your dancing feet
To the rescue, here i am
Want you to know just if you can
Where i stand, no, no, no, no, where i stand
Sun is shining, sun is shining

It was nicer earlier. I know tomorrow will be crappy but today I jogged from Belmont Harbor to North Ave beach and I was hot as hell. Between the sun and 50 temps it wasn't bad Doesn't hold a candle to our 80 degree March and we're still like 15 below average temps but it was a pleasant surprise.
