Do you act/talk this rudely offline? If you do, I'd bet you have no more than a few teeth left.

Find a better employer, or don't. You aren't working the clock a Chili's. Tell your employer you have an obligation or something. This bullshit "WAAAAH! I'll be at work, I can't get tickets." Well, make it happen, or don't.

The A.M. era Wilco I saw put on a nice little rag tag alt-country show.
The contemporary Wilco puts on a jawdropping 2.5 hour rock show. And has Nels Cline on guitar.
Both had their appeal, but if you had actually seen both, you'd know that the contemporary show is better.

If you are that fucking stupid to compare the Wilco that played at old 9:30 and contemporary Wilco, your idiocy knows no bounds.

Patti Smith seems to be the "headliner" according to Pollstar.
Speaking of free last time I saw her was for free at the Kennedy Center.. Also twice at the 930..
wonder if Lenny Kaye is in her band..

Um, yeah. They're going to have a 60 year old woman who is 30 years past her heyday as the headliner of a festival geared toward a younger crowd. Not.
Patti Smith is the less fun plug in for the Joan Jett slot from last year.

First, stop kissing so much ass. It's unbecoming.
Second, the whiners WILL be there, because even the biggest bitchers on this forum STILL SEEM TO GO TO FREEFEST. That's probably the most annoying part about it.
Look, this line-up didn't bowl me over, so you know what I might do? Not go. Seems pretty simple to me, but whatever.
For all of the good that the internet has brought to the world, the worst is giving trolls the impression that people give a shit about their input on things.

I don't think its whining to point out the lineup isn't as strong as previous years.
In any case, whats the word on VIP tickets?

Ditto, I think it's great that it's not all the same bands that are at every other festival this year, and is a chance to see the acts free. Hope lots of folks get tix!

Yup. My thoughts, exactly.
It's a good line-up. Have never seen Black Keys, TVOTR or Patti Smith.
