Lollapalooza Update #2: When it Rains, it Lordes

     After infesting the regional rail system with loud teenagers, Lolla got around to its intended purpose with some music yesterday. The first couple of hours were, as usual, filled with acts that people really haven't heard of(though you could always find a future star out there, like a 2007 Lady Gaga for instance), interspersed with a couple more notable acts. As the evening rolled in, Cage The Elephant played on one main stage, while Wiz Khalifa was whizzing away on the other.Then, the day's final acts took the stage. Muse succeeded Cage The Elephant, and Lorde took over for Wiz. However, both acts ended up featuring the same surprise guest: Mother Nature in the form of torrential rain. In short order, things went from being a re-enactment of Woodstock to a recreation of the first night game at Wrigley Field. Without much warning at all, Muse and Lorde both had to cut their acts short and send fans scurrying to safety. Lorde has said she would try to be back, but no steady plans have been made as of yet.
