lol i saw those but haven't got a clue what it is

[Hari's Chick]

Thanks for this! Remember how Dhani said his Dad wouldn't let him attend Lollapalooza? I can imagine George beaming with pride though seeing thenewno2 on the list now. :smile1:

[beatlebangs1964]

I wonder why George would not let Dhani attend.

[lennonluvr9]

And again, "missed it by that much" Only 4 days! Dang it....

[BeatleNichole]

I wonder why George would not let Dhani attend.

"Dhani Harrison has revealed that his father George would not let him attend Lollapalooza when he was a 15-year-old. The musician told Blender that his Beatle father may have been afraid that he would take illegal substances at the music festival, which is he booked to play this summer. Dhani said: "My dad never let me go to Lollapalooza. He thought I was going to end up with a shaved head, tattoos on my face and p***ed out (more)..."

Lollapalooza Day Two by Jim DeRogatis; updated 4:30 p.m.

With yesterday's mud slowly drying under increasingly hot and humid if still overcast skies, the second day of Lollapalooza gets underway for me at noon at the smaller stage at the foot of Balbo with theNewNo2. The quintet takes its name from the classic TV series "The Prisoner" starring mod-era hero Patrick McGoohan. But the group is destined to be best known as the band fronted by Dhani Harrison, son of the late Beatle George and Olivia Trinidad Arias, and a dead ringer for his father circa "A Hard Day's Night."

Though I'm a proud Chicagoan, nepotism has never counted for much with me, and the truth is I would love theNewNo2 no matter whose DNA the bandleader carries. Even stronger than the band's debut album "You Are Here," released late last year, the group's short but intense live set is a wonderful, swirling, psychedelic noise-pop assault that mixes equal parts vintage '90s shoegazer rock (a la My Bloody Valentine, Ride and Slowdive) and more recent Moog-laced Radiohead, though it's distinguished by the strong melodies and vocals that, yeah, sorta do sound like you-know-who.

An impressively noisy guitarist who also plays a weird sampler/analog synthesizer that looks as if it was made at home from parts at Radio Shack, Harrison takes the stage wearing a goofy pirate's hat that he bought at the festival yesterday--it winds up in the crowd in the hands of a guy who wrestles it from several other fans who all dived for it--and a T-shirt that says, "La Muerte Palooza."

"Did you get rained on yesterday?" the singer asks. "Sorry about that. We're here today--that's why it's nice out."

Who am I to argue with that kind of logic?

[Rellevart]

I have several friends who went to see Dhani and they were all very impressed with him and his band. I don't think any of them are on this forum, are ya', guys?
