Charles Merriam, unsuccessful mayoral candidate in 1911

So as to not dirty good names too early, I'll avoid outright dissing the organizers just yet. But if this is the case, it illustrates the pervasion of Live Nation-style control that I thought festivals like Lolla and ACL were free from.
SAD.
On another Chicago-related note, our favorite Chicagoan band Wilco announced the schedule for their Solid Sound Festival, which includes a more fleshed out line-up and a somewhat disappointing announcement that Wilco will not be fulfilling our dreams of doing a three-night extravaganza playing their entire discography a-la My Morning Jacket. Then again, is that really humanly possible? And, we're still really stoked for the whole experience... music, art, scenery, music journalism on our end... is it August yet?
