You And Whose Army?

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

"Although Chicago officials said late last year they are eager to present more popular music in the parks this summer -- and to reap the financial benefits these concerts bring for park improvements -- they have rejected a bid by chart-topping British art-rockers Radiohead to perform at Millennium Park in June...

Radiohead and many of its fans still consider the concert the band played at Hutchinson Field in summer 2001 as one of its most memorable. Although that show was a well-organized, artistic and financial success, city officials were reluctant for the next few years to allow cutting-edge rock acts to return to Grant Park because of noise complaints from a handful of nearby residents."

I am suddenly getting terrible flashbacks to my last aborted attempt to see Radiohead.

At least the Nazi sparrows were not involved this time.
