The greatest show on earth is performing in
Minneapolis on September 6th, but it's not
Ringling Bros. & Barnum and Bailey's Circus.
Compared to this musician, their lions,
tigers and bears seem like a night at the
local bingo hall. Yes -- closing the final
night of the Mill City Music Festival is one
of the greatest musicians of all time, The
Artist formerly known as Prince. Both his
name and his music have evolved since he
began recording in the late seventies, but
he has always been Minneapolis' favorite
son. Ask anyone who's ever seen the man
in concert and they'll tell you that it's a
religious experience. Forget the word
concert, when The Artist takes the stage
with over twenty years of songs to choose
from, it's not just an event --it's a
phenomenon. After this show you'll be left
standing in the streets of downtown
Minneapolis reborn through the gyrating of
one man's hips. It's hard to believe that
The Artist is just one performance out of
many at the Mill City Music Festival, but it's
only the closing act. The three day party
includes The Jayhawks, Semisonic and Bob
Mould. But it doesn't even stop there. There
are almost too many great bands, such as
Greazy Meal, The Honeydogs, Dazy Head
Mazy, Mason Jennings, 3 Minute Hero and
Happy Apple. The 1999 Mill City Music
Festival is huge. This festival has
everything that the too-corporate, sold-out,
pathetic-attempt-to-relive-the-
innocence-of-the-'60s Woodstock 1999
didn't. Mill City 1999 will be like having
multiple orgasms. Plus, it's the perfect
antidote to thoughts of yet another school
year. For more information, see the website

Despite what this article says, I have it on good authority that Greazy Meal (which disbanded earlier in the summer) will not make an appearance.
