I walked the lakefront on Friday evening--the crowds were in abundance for Lalapalooza.  I heard the city makes $500 million for this event--wild when you think about it.  I watched the stages go up over the past two weeks and when I saw that huge stage just left of the Museum Campus finally completed, I thought wow, that's the tallest stage I've ever seen--why so high?  Walking out on Friday to photograph the street, I realized I had only two directions to walk down--north or south.  I chose south.  By the time I reached the Museum Campus and just around it, I heard a familiar song, and then another and thought Beatles?  It was Paul McCartney on that huge stage, and although the fencing was up, in one area there was an unobstructed view of the stage and the jumbotron.  At least 100 of his fans were sitting or standing on the grass across from LSD listening to the concert.  It was a great concert and happy they built that stage high.

This now reminds me when Lennon died and my sister and I took the train up to the north side to participate in a silent vigil.  We were still on the train when the time came for a moment of silence.  So we were silent on the train.  By the time we reached the park, it was of course, all over.  We've always been fans of the Beatles and of their individual work.

It seems only appropriate to include a side view of a dress designed by Stella McCartney here.
