Sometime in the '90s, me and my sister Dee Dee went to LolLapalooza 2 because Cyprus Hill was playing. I was hella into Cyprus Hill. Also Pavement was playing so we went. We didn't really know anyone else. Because they would not sell alcohol in the venue we drank the 12 pack we had bought in the car before we went in. It was like 11am. After one of the bands this guy came on stage with a boombox and sang a song about being a loser. I heard that Sonic Youth had put him on the roster of bands because they thought his music was cool. When Pavement played, the show was outside and during the daytime. There was a huge mud area because it had been raining. People started throwing clumps of mud at each other. There was a huge mud fight in the middle of Pavement's set. It was awesome. The headliner was this girl that nobody had heard of, all we knew was she was Kurt Cobain's girlfriend. She opened with the song "Violet" it was fucking awesome and we had no idea who she was yet.
I noticed this about AC/DC, you know how Bon Scott died and was kinda scarily satanic. He is wearing a fucking pentagram on the album cover "Highway to Hell!" And the last song on the record is "Night Stalker." At the end of it he says, "Shazbot, nanoo nanoo." This is a reference to the TV show Mork and Mindy so the very last thing that Bon Scott says on vinyl or on a rock n roll recording is a fucking Mork and Mindy reference. That's funny as hell.
