Right now, I’m slowly being corrupted by punk…very slowly.

The 2001 Ozzfest line-up has been announced. Significant because it means the concert season is about to crank up in Atlanta again. This year Black Sabbath will be back after coming out of retirement. Thank god for those “last tour” promotions which are always a sure guarantee of a band’s return. Just like Ozzy. I’m hoping Ozzy is still touring in the afterlife. I love Ozzy. 🙂

I really hate to bring up these little monsters again but who can identify this Ozzy look alike? Or maybe its Gary Oldman as Dracula? His only identifying mark is “Dishmop”.

P.S. Marilyn Manson will be there. Wanna come? We’ll have vodka and cherry juice and speak to the goths again if you want. I want.

Ozzfest 2001 Demon

I loved this morning. I put on the headset, closed my eyes, and picked a random 10 out of the Napster library.

The AM mixture:

“Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend”(T-Bone Burnett),
“DAF”(Powderfinger),
“Guerilla Radio(live with feedback..yippeee)” (RATM),
“Cybersingle” (Prince),
“Holy Mother”(Eric Clapton),
“Hey Ladies”(Beastie Boys),
“It Wasn’t Me”(soooory..I like it)(Shaggy),
“Fake”(Freakscene),
“This is Love”(PJ Harvey), and always…some Elvis…”You’re So Square”.
Napster. I love you too.

After I got the music set…I got comfy with coffee, a credit card, and Ticketmaster. Now all I need is somebody very cool to go with me.

The lineup thusfar:

2/8 Merle Haggard (vintage punk rebel!)
2/19 Everlast (umm..well)
2/27 Fuel and Crazytown
2/28 Union Underground
3/1 Corrosion of Conformity
3/3 Deadbolt (voodoo rock!!..umm like The Cramps) (go Listen)
3/6 The Donnas
3/8 Henry Rollins (the talking head)
4/7 Outkast
6/8 David Allen Coe
6/17 John Waite (OMG!)(oh yeah Asia and The Fixx will be there too..
but John Waite!!. :)(~~every time I think of you … I always catch my breath…and there’s a heart thats breaking … I ain’t missing you at all … no matter what I say~~ ok so I’m mushy)

I missed out on U2 because I slept a week too late which is ok … but I am disappointed because PJ Harvey is the opener. 1-800-SCALPER.

Waiting for: Ozzfest!
