With shouts of "get offthe stage you whore," and "you suck, bitch" al underscored by the chanting of"Primus, Primus," Love seemed a bit agitated. She performed her usual antics, stage diving and name-calling, but it was a nice surprise. Bennett was a bit more pleasant, getting the crowd riled up with a short, 15-minute set before the Ramornes took the stage to conclude the evening's festivities. It's certainly rare to find a bill featuring both Tony Bennett and the Ramones. Backstage, many performers showed their true colors to reporters. After her set, Juliana Hatfield explained in detail how her favorite food is a bagel because "I find them so orally fixating," she said. "They're so hard on the outside and so soft and chewy on the inside." Mike Watt was also hanging around telling his favorite horror stories of life on the road. "One tour I just tied rags around my fuckin' ankles because I was shitting so hard for three days," Watt said "Land O' Lakes in Florida, some ranch dressing blew me out big time, but now after all that I'm like a turkey volture, you see them eat the road kill? You can't kill those things with a pound. of strychnine. I think Watt's like that now too. " Even MTV took part in the Washing- ton festival, filming an entire episode of the Sunday night modern rock show "120 Minutes" with MTV Newswoman Allison Stewart and ex-" 120" host Lewis Largent, who walked around all day saying "cool, dude," and "yeah, man." But for those few performers who didn't make it onto a festival bill or just wanted to tour on their own, there was still the traditional rock tour. Most were able to pull it off, but some, well, fell, flat on their faces. Soul Asylum, Matthew Sweet, the Jayhawks and Victoria Williams had their own mini-festival, and the H.O.R.D.E. Festival was more success- ful than ever with the recent success of featured band Blues Traveler's "Run Around" single and a heavyweight bill including the Black Crowes and Ziggy Marley. Between visits to emergency, rooms at hospitals worldwide, R.E.M. was able to play a few shows throughout the summer. With Bill Berry's brain ane- rysm last spring, Mike Mills' intestinal problems and Michael Stipe's hernia, guitarist Peter Buck was the only mem- ber at press time who hadn't succumbed to the hard life on the road. Or the hard life of older people on the road. Barring injury, the quartet will be at Crisler Arena in late October. The Grateful Dead had a string of bad luck that began with fans being struck by lightning at a June Washington, .C. show and ended with frontman Jerry Garcia dying in August. In betwee, The Dead watched the usual cases of overdosed fans, a riot outside of one of their concerts, and then over 100 fans being injured by a collapsing patio out- side of another concert. Speaking of overdosing, Courtney Love od-ed only once this summer, supposedly on prescription medication, but was still able to charm audiences with her charisma. The Spin Doctors didn't have life quite as bad, but their tour of tiny clubs and bars across the country was can- celled because of, guess what, lack of ticket sales. Pearl Jam couldn't sell tick- ets either, but for different reasons than the Spin Doctors. They couldn't decide who they wanted to sell their tickets. And the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum ended the summer concert season Labor Day weekend with the opening of the long-awaited Cleveland museum and an all-star concert with tickets starting at $80 a pop. Most of the show didn't live up to its hype, with old and tired stars covering each others' old RA $ NE M E E. i 6.1FYOU DON'iDOYOURLAUNDRY SOON, f'UNEEDiSOWNEPCODE. YOUS2GOTYl HE MI 8.
