A documentary detailing the death and commercialization of a truly unique idea to bring people together.
The original idea - bring culture and alternative music to rural areas where people are never exposed to such thing, keep ticket prices low so "the kids can see it" - to how it devolves into a commercialized money-maker. They no longer bring music to rural areas where kids can afford to go see it.. now they lock into only Chicago and then travel the world in a quest for more money... it's all about the dollar.
This entire documentary builds to an excuse and justification for the commercialization. If Farrell can not see how Lolla has COMPLETELY lost the message, he's blind, or just lying to the audience.
Ferrell is kidding himself if he thinks it's still "about the music" it CLEARLY is not. Music is merely the vehicle to profits.
What a pathetic thing Lollapalooza has become. It's NOTHING special now.
