My 16 year old son is on his way to see the Flaming Lips (with St. Vincent, Fitz and the Tantrums, Clap Your Hands and say Yeah, Telegraph Canyon)…

I went to see the Flaming Lips at Lollapalooza 1994, on the side stage! But… they couldn’t take the stage because of the insane downpour of rain. They were playing right after Shonen Knife.

So… My son gets to see them before me.

This is what I would like to hear:

Flaming Lips - “Chewing on the Apple of Your Eye”
