Lollapalooza, pt. 1: John Rubeli
What would you have done if, at the tender age of 23, you were asked to curate a stage at a multimillion-dollar festival, and you could include all your favorite bands? For Revolution Come and Gone’s first episode, we talk with John Rubeli about booking the second stage at Perry Farrell’s traveling music festival, Lollapalooza, circa 1993. This is John’s first-hand account of bringing the underground to the masses, getting conned by Coolio, not booking the Fugees, and the only band to turn him down. This is Lollapalooza, part one.Hosted by Dylan Metrano and Gregory Moss.Episode artwork by Alan Bull, after a photo by Paul Bergen.

Musician Dylan Metrano and writer Gregory S. Moss speak with major bands, producers, label heads and hangers-on of the era, look back and try to make sense of this transformative moment in American cultural history. If you’re hungry to hear about the independent, lo-fi, garage, grunge, avant-garde and punk music of the late 20th century, this podcast will fill your goddamn socks.
