maria and djdee completely OTM:cat power in front of thousands of fraternity douches is pretty much worth the cost of admission alone.andThis situation seems perfectly set up for me to hate anyone who has a position to argue.

"SPEC Concerts could learn a lot from SPEC Connaissance -- which recently announced Martin Sheen will be speaking at Penn -- about what appeals to students "
so what they could learn is that students like old people, except when they're musicians?

"Go see the show. In 1990, we had Jerry Seinfeld who no one heard of and he was amazing. That year we also had Meatloaf right before his comeback."
or
"I compare them [SY] to Ace-of-Base, an afterthought, almost a novelty act.....and now I hear Dartmouth gets Robert Randolph AND Talib Kwali? I thought we had more pride than that."

penn kids ARE spoiled, but then again most ivy league folks are. i mean, you dont pay all that money for an education, its for the privilege.
Spoon played at Rice my senior year, way back when in '97. I enjoyed the show and the copy of the Soft Effects EP that I picked up afterwards, but the band kinda dropped off my radar for a few years after that.
you're a funny one.

My rant in it's entirety:
these performers are hardly esoteric...pretty standard fare for anyone who gives two shits about popular music. anyway, it doesn't take an idiot to figure out that large scale collegiate concerts are a mistake to begin with. pop-music philistines will always resent decent line-ups while failing to realize that the bands they'd like to hear are too busy selling out stadiums and amphitheaters to bother with putting on a private concert for Penn students.
as the author of the editorial can't figure out that a crowd-pleasing concert of the sort he craves is untenable at Penn (even though there was a DP article covering exactly why it is impossible published several months ago), i suspect he is even more worthless than an idiot: the sort of person that will move from his fraternity house right out to the suburbs upon graduation where he can live out the remainder of his proudly unexamined life. (just imagine listening to Linkin Park on your humvee's kickin' bose stereo...i bet it will sound soooo awesome. it's out there... just waiting for you... dumb-ass.)
vocab reviewphilistine: A smug, ignorant, especially middle-class person who is regarded as being indifferent or antagonistic to artistic and cultural values. (does this describe you?)

This song features the lyric: "When you're rappin' for the white man/it's jigaboo time/it's jiggaboo time."
At least Sonic Youth and Cat Power vs. Penn keeps it all in the family...the hipsters vs. squares in whiteyville.
(which is not to say that there aren't non-caucasian students at Penn, but their numbers are egregiously small.)

Personally you couldn't pay me to watch Sonic Youth. I'll definitely be going to the Jimmy Eat World/Taking Back Sunday/The Format show on 4/15 at the Tweeter Center in Camden.

"wow, man. my school got shit like Maestro Fresh Wes (if you have any idea of who that is, holla)"
*Hollering*
my school too.
Canadian schools just ain't got the cash. i'm shocked at some of what i've seen upthread. the reactions from the Penn State kids is just one more reason to hate the Ivy League. I guess in their defence, the freshmen would have only been 3 years old when SY signed to Geffen, but that's still no excuse!
