The "need" for Lilith Fair is a discussion that always struck me as odd - because it was a discussion that never EVER was had in reference to Lollapalooza, Ozzfest, or any other music festival tour. It's smart marketing to bring together artists with similar fan bases, and it's wonderful that Sarah McLachlan was able to create what has become an iconic and beloved event. So much of the negative press this year as been about canceled dates, but to suggest that's a problem only Lilith Fair is having is wrong - John Mayer, the Eagles, Limp Bizkit, Rihanna, and Christina Aguilera, among others, are canceling shows and tours. I look forward to the rest of the week of Lilith-related blogs! I like your scientific research and number crunching, Kristy!
