Beastie Boys and Fishbone!
One of the things I really love about Fuji is the opportunity to see acts I've known for a long time but have never seen live. I would probably go out of my way to see someone like Feist in the prime of her youth wherever she was playing, but might resist ponying up the money for the mere nostalgia of seeing these two.
Fishbone are the same band I knew from 1991's breakthrough The Reality of My Surroundings in name only, with only two of the original members of that band still with them. Still, those two memberw, Angelo Moore and John Norwood Fischer, were prime creative forces on that album and are the heart of the personality of the band, so I look forward to seeing what they're up to.
The Beastie Boys, however...well, I can only imagine what they have in store for us. I didn't realize it until I saw they were on the lineup, but I think its been a subcionscious lifelong dream of mine to see them at an outdoor festival. Listen all ya'll...
