While the majority of Texas
A&M students were yelling in
Kyle Field as A&M beat Gem-
son University on Saturday, others
opted to miss the football game in
favor of a weekend of live music.
Though some will cringe when
they hear people missed a home
football game to go up to Austin
for a weekend, music fans from
Aggieland made the trip to the
third annual Austin City Limits
Music Festival held at Zilker Park.
Forget about how bad a drive
to Austin can be on a Friday after
noon or how hot it was this week
end — nothing could stop some
Aggies from attending one of the
biggest music festivals in Texas.
With eight stages set up for
more than 130 performing artists
on Friday, Saturday and Sunday,
the music started at 11 a.m. and
didn’t stop until 10 p.m. each day.
Sheryl Crow was the headliner,
but the number of recognizable
bands meant no single performer
overshadowed the rest. Among the
bands that performed. The Pixies,
Jack Johnson, Franz Ferdinand
and Ben Harper all gave entertain
ing performances.
The best part of the music fes
tival was the wide selection of
music. There was always a band
starting that you wanted to hear,
sometimes even two. Genres
ranged from country, including
Pat Green and Bruce Robinson,
to alternative rock such as Modest
Mouse and Cake.
Judging by the intensity of the
crowd’s excitement during The
Pixies’ Saturday night perfor
mance, it may have hardly been
imaginable to fans that this band
may have been worshipped by
many of their own parents. A de-

DETROIT — Civil rights pioneer
Rosa Parks has dementia and
should not be forced to answer
questions in her lawsuit over a
rap song named for her, her law-
cade later, the group’s songs m
just as amazing as they werey
ago, and the performance
was worth the $40 one-day tid?j
Zilker Park was a great outi
location, with plenty of space
the stages, arts and crafts
and food booths from local y
dors. The fans did get a
sane in the afternoon, with soldi)
crowds reaching almost 75,000.
While the majority of ly
stayed near one of the two na
stages, there was great musky
erywhere. For those who did)
want to handle the crowd, wall
among the art booths or listeninj]
one of the smaller stages was
as enjoyable. The shade availi
in the park would have been
feet, had it not been occupied
by those who came with bl
and lawn chairs.
Overall, the people whotnij
enjoyed the music festival w
not the fans who came to li
a specific hand, but those wl
came for the experience,
spite the crowds and buzz,
best moments were spent relit' I
ing on a blanket and Iistenin2!r{ asc0u
the music. IPJ":
For those who weren’t aft* 5 ay
to make the festival, Austin 0
Limits will spotlight many
the performers in its TV seas
on PBS that starts Oct. 2
will also be DVDs andCDsofi
bands, but neither will be able
measure up to the excitement
the live performances.
For those feeling bad aboutm
making this year’s event, there
still hope. Although this mud
festival seems hard to top. te
is always next year. HopefullyiPling H
won’t be on a football weekend 1^ sow
