The jazz festival headlined John Zorn this week although his performance with Laurie Anderson and Lou Reed seems not to have been universally popular.
In other news, the Lilith Fair performance scheduled here for July 23 has been cancelled. One word in their press release strikes me as a giveaway: “Everyone involved with the tour would like to apologize to the fans and artists scheduled to play in these markets…”. Markets? You’re allowed to think of us that way, but it’s poor form to address your public as just so many obedient consumers when there’s supposed to be some emotional connection to the, ahem, product.
