"headTitle": "KQED Pop | KQED Arts",
"content": "\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"RWlDM83svXEDNS1XrTUX4WSLhqhoz7Yx\"]Over the weekend, Taylor Swift played sold-out shows to a total of 100,000 people at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara. You should have been there! But in case you weren't, here's a play-by-play of what it was like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6pm:\u003c/strong> The second obstacle standing between you and Taylor presents itself (the first being the exorbitant price of the ticket). You must park on an uneven, spongy golf course and then locate golf-cart-riding attendants to procure a plastic bag for your belongings (only clutches and approved NFL bags are allowed inside the stadium). Girls in stilettos also face the added challenge of getting their heels stuck in the ground over and over again, while trekking a mile or so to the stadium entrance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6:30p:\u003c/strong> The walk turns out to be kind of meditative: a giddy, buzzing procession of mostly teens and their moms. There are also a few dads in the mix. Most of them look uneasy. You smile at them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6:45p:\u003c/strong> Security is a cinch because all your stuff is in a clear plastic bag that's already ripping at the handle. You are handed a cool bracelet that will light up with the beats of Taylor's music. You are told not to pull the tab until Taylor says so. You wouldn't dream of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7p:\u003c/strong> Shawn Mendes takes the stage. He has nice teeth and a Justin Bieber vibe about him. The youths seem to know his music. Or maybe they just like his face? You and your friend discuss his age and whether he is Taylor's type. You decide on 20 and that he's not Taylor's type anymore now that she's dating a man. After the show, you look Mendes up and find out he's actually 17. You feel very, very old.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7:10p:\u003c/strong> There are no lines for booze because most people here were born after 1995. You cruise up to the table and ask for some wine. They're all out. No one is sure how this is possible. You consider trying a malt liquor Long Island Iced Tea, but remember that nothing good comes out of having a Long Island Icea Tea and think better of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7:15p:\u003c/strong> Your friend wants a shirt to commemorate this moment in time. \"Will you be embarrassed to wear it in two years?\" you ask. \"No way.\" Your friend settles on the tasteful ringer tee with the \u003cem>1989\u003c/em> album cover on it. It looks dope.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7:20p:\u003c/strong> You spot what appears to be a fan-made knit blanket with Taylor's face on it. You want it really badly...until you realize they're for sale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7:30p:\u003c/strong> You're astounded by the Swifties' imagination, when it comes to concert costumes. Two girls, dressed in scrubs, hold signs with lyrics from \"Out of the Woods\" on them: \"Remember when you hit the brakes too soon? 20 stitches in the hospital room.\" A girl in black lace holds one half of a lyric (\"I'm a nightmare...\"), while her friend, dressed like an angel, completes the line (\"...dressed like a daydream\"). But the award for commitment goes to these guys who dressed up like ballerinas from the \"Shake It Off\" video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/08/IMG_7765-e1439843844376.jpeg\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17649 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/08/IMG_7765-e1439843844376.jpeg\" alt=\"IMG_7765\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/08/IMG_7765-e1439843844376.jpeg 480w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/08/IMG_7765-e1439843844376-400x533.jpeg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7:45p:\u003c/strong> You hear there is wine on another level. You head past people posing with cardboard cutouts of Taylor and her cats to the boozy area. This is where many of the dads are, drinking beer and having a good time. You commend them before grabbing some wine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8p:\u003c/strong> Vance Joy takes the stage. He has an accent. You are bored.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8:05p: \u003c/strong>A mother grabs you and asks, \"Where did you get that wine?\" She seems desperate. You tell her exactly where to get it and wish her luck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8:10p:\u003c/strong> You find your seat, which is close, but not close enough. You're sitting between an excited girl named Missy and a glum older woman. Missy was at the show last night and has all the details. She is wearing two light-up bracelets, one from last night and the fresh one. You and your friend talk to her about who you hope the special guest is (Selena Gomez or Nicki Minaj) and about how many cats her sister has and about who each of you thinks Rory Gilmore should have ended up with (Jess, obviously).

You mention that this is one of her worst songs and discuss how odd Taylor being the face of New York is, considering that she seems to have just found out about the city. You and your friend take turns pretending to be awestruck Taylor. \"Have you ever been to Times Square? It's amazing!!!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8:43p:\u003c/strong> Taylor looks really happy and shocked that you are all there. It feels like watching a Disney Channel musical on lots of Red Bull.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8:45p:\u003c/strong> Taylor greets the audience. You and your friend hope she refers to the crowd as the Bay Area instead of Santa Clara.

It's a song that's only on the deluxe album so some are confused. You wonder whether her label strategically placed a single-worthy song on the deluxe to ensure that some would have to buy the album twice. You decide that yes, they did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8:52p:\u003c/strong> \"Blank Space\" plays and everyone knows the words.

She says they could have been anywhere in the world, but they chose to be here so feel thankful! The surprise is....drumroll....Little Mix. Womp. They are a girl group that came out of \u003cem>X Factor UK\u003c/em>. One of them almost married Zayn Malik from One Direction. They're fun, but they're no Nicki Minaj.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>9:28p:\u003c/strong> Time for another motivational speech. This time, even though it's obviously rehearsed, it hits a nerve. She says, \"You are not your mistakes. You are not damaged goods. You are not the opinion of someone who doesn't know you. You are wiser because you went through something terrible. You are the person who survived a bunch of rainstorms and kept walking.\" Your friend quietly weeps, as does the girl who shot the video below:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0y55EaBPRY\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>9:33p:\u003c/strong> Taylor's runway goes airborne for a rendition of \"Love Story.\" Taylor explains that it's about Romeo and Juliet, the first Ross and Rachel, and that she didn't like their tragic ending so she had them end up together forever and ever.

Nicki, are you here after all?! Nope. But Julia Roberts and Joan Baez are. A collective WTF sweeps the stadium. Julia Roberts does not want to dance. Joan Baez is down though.

You should have been there! But in case you weren't, here's a play-by-play of what it was like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6pm:\u003c/strong> The second obstacle standing between you and Taylor presents itself (the first being the exorbitant price of the ticket). You must park on an uneven, spongy golf course and then locate golf-cart-riding attendants to procure a plastic bag for your belongings (only clutches and approved NFL bags are allowed inside the stadium). Girls in stilettos also face the added challenge of getting their heels stuck in the ground over and over again, while trekking a mile or so to the stadium entrance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6:30p:\u003c/strong> The walk turns out to be kind of meditative: a giddy, buzzing procession of mostly teens and their moms. There are also a few dads in the mix. Most of them look uneasy. You smile at them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6:45p:\u003c/strong> Security is a cinch because all your stuff is in a clear plastic bag that's already ripping at the handle. You are handed a cool bracelet that will light up with the beats of Taylor's music. You are told not to pull the tab until Taylor says so. You wouldn't dream of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7p:\u003c/strong> Shawn Mendes takes the stage. He has nice teeth and a Justin Bieber vibe about him. The youths seem to know his music. Or maybe they just like his face? You and your friend discuss his age and whether he is Taylor's type. You decide on 20 and that he's not Taylor's type anymore now that she's dating a man. After the show, you look Mendes up and find out he's actually 17. You feel very, very old.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

You cruise up to the table and ask for some wine. They're all out. No one is sure how this is possible. You consider trying a malt liquor Long Island Iced Tea, but remember that nothing good comes out of having a Long Island Icea Tea and think better of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7:15p:\u003c/strong> Your friend wants a shirt to commemorate this moment in time. \"Will you be embarrassed to wear it in two years?\" you ask. \"No way.\" Your friend settles on the tasteful ringer tee with the \u003cem>1989\u003c/em> album cover on it. It looks dope.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7:20p:\u003c/strong> You spot what appears to be a fan-made knit blanket with Taylor's face on it. You want it really badly...until you realize they're for sale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7:30p:\u003c/strong> You're astounded by the Swifties' imagination, when it comes to concert costumes. Two girls, dressed in scrubs, hold signs with lyrics from \"Out of the Woods\" on them: \"Remember when you hit the brakes too soon? 20 stitches in the hospital room.\" A girl in black lace holds one half of a lyric (\"I'm a nightmare...\"), while her friend, dressed like an angel, completes the line (\"...dressed like a daydream\"). But the award for commitment goes to these guys who dressed up like ballerinas from the \"Shake It Off\" video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/08/IMG_7765-e1439843844376.jpeg\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17649 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/08/IMG_7765-e1439843844376.jpeg\" alt=\"IMG_7765\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/08/IMG_7765-e1439843844376.jpeg 480w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/08/IMG_7765-e1439843844376-400x533.jpeg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7:45p:\u003c/strong> You hear there is wine on another level. You head past people posing with cardboard cutouts of Taylor and her cats to the boozy area. This is where many of the dads are, drinking beer and having a good time. You commend them before grabbing some wine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8p:\u003c/strong> Vance Joy takes the stage. He has an accent. You are bored.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8:05p: \u003c/strong>A mother grabs you and asks, \"Where did you get that wine?\" She seems desperate. You tell her exactly where to get it and wish her luck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8:10p:\u003c/strong> You find your seat, which is close, but not close enough. You're sitting between an excited girl named Missy and a glum older woman. Missy was at the show last night and has all the details. She is wearing two light-up bracelets, one from last night and the fresh one. You and your friend talk to her about who you hope the special guest is (Selena Gomez or Nicki Minaj) and about how many cats her sister has and about who each of you thinks Rory Gilmore should have ended up with (Jess, obviously). The glum woman gazes off into the sky, thinking about her bills, her ex, her deadlines or when she thinks she's going to die.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8:30p:\u003c/strong> Videos of Taylor Swift hanging out with fans at her mom's house play on the big screens.

"content": "\u003cp>Last week, Mariah received her long-overdue Hollywood Walk of Fame star. Why does she deserve it? Oh, maybe because she wrote every song she's released (minus the covers), has sold more than 200 million records worldwide, holds the title for most weeks at #1 (16) and has had 18 #1 singles (only the Beatles have more at 20). I could go on, but this post is already going to be super long so I won't.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What better way to show appreciation for 25 years worth of artistic output than to watch every music video Mariah has produced (minus remixes and feature spots on other people's songs because I have to eventually get back to my life)?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took me two weeks, but I made it. Some takeaways: Mariah loves small animals, Christmas, singing in the rain, journaling, picking up children, getting revenge, playing evil brunettes, gesturing with her fingers, waving at the camera, and crying single tears for dramatic purposes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The following is a ranking from worst to best, based on a not-so-scientific formula that factors in storyline, aesthetic and whether the video inspires me to throw up praise hands or not.

Oh, maybe because she wrote every song she's released (minus the covers), has sold more than 200 million records worldwide, holds the title for most weeks at #1 (16) and has had 18 #1 singles (only the Beatles have more at 20). I could go on, but this post is already going to be super long so I won't.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What better way to show appreciation for 25 years worth of artistic output than to watch every music video Mariah has produced (minus remixes and feature spots on other people's songs because I have to eventually get back to my life)?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took me two weeks, but I made it. Some takeaways: Mariah loves small animals, Christmas, singing in the rain, journaling, picking up children, getting revenge, playing evil brunettes, gesturing with her fingers, waving at the camera, and crying single tears for dramatic purposes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The following is a ranking from worst to best, based on a not-so-scientific formula that factors in storyline, aesthetic and whether the video inspires me to throw up praise hands or not. This is not a judgment on the songs themselves so save your tweets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Note:\u003c/strong> Some computers just couldn't handle all this Mariah so look for page numbers at the bottom of the post to navigate through Mariah's career.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Bassy — who’s outfitted head-to-toe in black. Sitting across a table covered with tan butcher paper, he absently doodles with a marker during the course of our interview, turning a scrawl of Charles Bukowski’s name into a box surrounded by what could be either missiles or stars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He tells me this space, located in San Francisco’s Lower Richmond neighborhood, is the home of his stepfather. Here, where Griffin stays each time he’s back in the Bay Area, the house has an unfinished quality to it. But rather than feeling empty, it seems a canvas waiting to be adorned with new ideas, a lovely work in progress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same could be said for Griffin’s music career at the moment. Though he’s able to pull from a decade of experience in the music industry, it’s his recent turn as a solo artist that’s finally found him capturing a sound authentic to his experience. It hasn’t been an easy essence to relay, and Griffin’s the first to admit that he’s a confusing artist to classify. But his story is one about the amazing results that come from artistic exploration without expectation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/gWqFagzOd0g\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Griffin was raised in San Francisco’s Potrero Hill neighborhood until his teens, when he moved to Mill Valley and attended Tamalpais High School. Upon graduation, he headed to UC Santa Cruz for college but found little reason to stay. After only a semester, he moved to Los Angeles in 2006 with Matt Reagan, who’d played guitar in Griffin’s high school band.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With no industry connections, and grinding well before the ubiquity of YouTube, the two got word out the old-fashioned way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’d go to every open mic,” Griffin recalls. “This was before you could put videos up, so it was all about trying to get poppin’ live… We had a magical energy in LA. People were just attracted to it. We had people quit their jobs to come play with us, and then we ended up getting a record deal [with RCA].”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After going through hundreds of names, the group settled on 2AM Club, an homage to the famous Mill Valley bar Griffin used to frequent. (Some may recognize the name, as the location was featured on the cover of the Huey Lewis & the News album \u003cem>Sports\u003c/em>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In roughly a decade, 2AM Club experienced what Griffin describes as “blips of extreme mainstream exposure.” Those included an appearance on \u003cem>Good Morning America\u003c/em>, a performance spot on ABC Family hit \u003cem>Pretty Little Liars \u003c/em>and over a million YouTube views for the band’s 2010 lead single, “Worry About You.” And while the group was composed of musicians that all met in LA, Griffin contends that they weren’t a label creation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It looks like it was that, but it was completely organic,” he says, adding, “That was the biggest struggle with it — that we could really play and sing, but everything we put out to the world sort of negated all of that because it looked like it was a live boy-band type thing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/oT7O_-NR4KA\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Looking back, Griffin admits the period was a good learning experience, noting, “We weren’t really prepared for how to get our message across the right way once we got to the big time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also felt stifled creatively. Though he says he rapped before he took up singing, he was designated the singer in his band, never granted a chance to rap on tracks. Add to that the waiting game to release music, delayed by label strategies Griffin saw as dated and off the mark, and after a near ten-year run, 2AM Club dissolved about a year ago (“Our label flopped us,” he explains). He was still signed to Sony / ATV on a publishing contract — in the meantime, he was writing for others and living off his advance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For fun, he connected with his longtime friend Alex Hau, a graphic designer who was releasing music part-time under the moniker Count Bassy. Griffin always trusted his ear, and he was happy with their early collaborations. To show how serious he was about making music together, Griffin took on the name Marc E. Bassy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Marc E. Bassy era began in earnest with “\u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/marc_e_bassy/andy-griffith\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Andy Griffith\u003c/a>,” which featured Griffin rapping a tribute to North Beach and its many strip clubs over hip-hop drums and airy keys. Then came “\u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/marc_e_bassy/jazzy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jazzy\u003c/a>,” an autobiographical introduction of Bassy to the world, with Griffin playfully rapping “I speak for the betterment of people” and “Remember poetry class? That’s where I became me.” There’s an undeniable joy and nonchalance to these early tracks, \u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/marc_e_bassy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">released on SoundCloud\u003c/a> purely for the sake of sharing music with the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was really refreshing to finally be independent,” Griffin says. “I like to share my music. I’m not shy with it. I feel like when I get it out, that’s when I can move past it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/VYUEExku3w4\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Chemical High” was the first song from that early batch to feature Griffin’s now-signature hybrid delivery, equal parts rapping and singing. It was also the standout track that started to gain traction for his new artistic persona.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Next came \u003cem>Only the Poets, Vol. 1\u003c/em>, released last July. “American Dream Life” found Griffin inserting political commentary into his output, and he paired the track with a powerful video featuring Griffin releasing school children from their oppressive teacher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Having a message in music has been corny, but I feel like we’re just getting to the tipping point where that’s about to be the only thing that matters in music,” he says. “There’s no counter-culture… The problems that we’re having as a people are so deep, but they’re not too deep to understand. You could pretty much explain to everybody what’s going on in one song if you wanted to, [but] no one will do that. They’ll just only put a hashtag or a picture and forget about it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“American Dream Life” was his response, and despite his worries about releasing the song and video, Griffin says fan reaction has been positive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/18ZUcgaIybU\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year, Griffin released his follow-up, the \u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/marc_e_bassy/sets/east-hollywood-ep-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cem>East Hollywood \u003c/em>EP\u003c/a>. During a month-long stay in East Hollywood in his girlfriend’s vacant apartment, he spent the vast majority of his time reading and writing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was on a big [Charles] Bukowski trip,” he says. Bukowski is featured reading a poem on the album intro and later appears in an interlude that excerpts a famous interview of the writer verbally abusing his girlfriend. “That’s kind of when the whole \u003cem>East Hollywood \u003c/em>concept emerged, because that’s where Bukowski lived most of his life and that’s where he wrote.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For “On Top,” Griffin paints a picture of his everyday surroundings at the time, name-dropping the evangelical Christian rappers and Scientologists he’d regularly come across on the streets. “XX” captures his vulnerability, while “Good Money” is a love song on Griffin’s terms, driven by an irresistibly melodic delivery that finds him closing the song with “Part one was the lost soul, you came the sequel / Got a new balance, you my f—ing equal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the project is driven largely by a sound grounded in the more electronic meditations of modern R&B, Griffin’s melodies are the project’s true centerpiece. It may not be immediately apparent, but the sounds of Stevie Wonder and Donny Hathaway drive his sound.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not no [Justin Timberlake] / Maroon 5 type, but that’s what people always wanted me to be like, so if I come with some slick, pop-sounding records, then they’re really gonna think that’s what I am,” he explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Essentially, I make pop songs,” he continues, “and the mission with the first two mixtapes was to disguise that. Melodically, I like classic soul music, and those melodies are the root of pop music today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The best example of his pop aspirations on \u003cem>East Hollywood \u003c/em>would be “Some Things Never Change,” a meditation on lost love and the incessant thirst for — and possible addiction to — fame and success. The struggle is acutely accentuated by a striking guitar riff provided by Chicago production duo Blended Babies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/0fDmle796Yg\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even though a lot of these themes that come up in my music are just shallow, stupid Hollywood bulls–t – money, fame – I love that s–t. I love being in LA. I get fueled by the drama of it all.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you hear me rap or talk about drugs and sex or whatever, it’s not contrived,” he continues. “That’s really me… Essentially, that’s the goal, right?

Bassy — who’s outfitted head-to-toe in black. Sitting across a table covered with tan butcher paper, he absently doodles with a marker during the course of our interview, turning a scrawl of Charles Bukowski’s name into a box surrounded by what could be either missiles or stars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He tells me this space, located in San Francisco’s Lower Richmond neighborhood, is the home of his stepfather. Here, where Griffin stays each time he’s back in the Bay Area, the house has an unfinished quality to it. But rather than feeling empty, it seems a canvas waiting to be adorned with new ideas, a lovely work in progress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same could be said for Griffin’s music career at the moment. Though he’s able to pull from a decade of experience in the music industry, it’s his recent turn as a solo artist that’s finally found him capturing a sound authentic to his experience. It hasn’t been an easy essence to relay, and Griffin’s the first to admit that he’s a confusing artist to classify. But his story is one about the amazing results that come from artistic exploration without expectation.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/gWqFagzOd0g'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/gWqFagzOd0g'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Griffin was raised in San Francisco’s Potrero Hill neighborhood until his teens, when he moved to Mill Valley and attended Tamalpais High School. Upon graduation, he headed to UC Santa Cruz for college but found little reason to stay. After only a semester, he moved to Los Angeles in 2006 with Matt Reagan, who’d played guitar in Griffin’s high school band.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

People were just attracted to it. We had people quit their jobs to come play with us, and then we ended up getting a record deal [with RCA].”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After going through hundreds of names, the group settled on 2AM Club, an homage to the famous Mill Valley bar Griffin used to frequent. (Some may recognize the name, as the location was featured on the cover of the Huey Lewis & the News album \u003cem>Sports\u003c/em>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In roughly a decade, 2AM Club experienced what Griffin describes as “blips of extreme mainstream exposure.” Those included an appearance on \u003cem>Good Morning America\u003c/em>, a performance spot on ABC Family hit \u003cem>Pretty Little Liars \u003c/em>and over a million YouTube views for the band’s 2010 lead single, “Worry About You.” And while the group was composed of musicians that all met in LA, Griffin contends that they weren’t a label creation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It looks like it was that, but it was completely organic,” he says, adding, “That was the biggest struggle with it — that we could really play and sing, but everything we put out to the world sort of negated all of that because it looked like it was a live boy-band type thing.”\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/oT7O_-NR4KA'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/oT7O_-NR4KA'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Looking back, Griffin admits the period was a good learning experience, noting, “We weren’t really prepared for how to get our message across the right way once we got to the big time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also felt stifled creatively. Though he says he rapped before he took up singing, he was designated the singer in his band, never granted a chance to rap on tracks. Add to that the waiting game to release music, delayed by label strategies Griffin saw as dated and off the mark, and after a near ten-year run, 2AM Club dissolved about a year ago (“Our label flopped us,” he explains). He was still signed to Sony / ATV on a publishing contract — in the meantime, he was writing for others and living off his advance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For fun, he connected with his longtime friend Alex Hau, a graphic designer who was releasing music part-time under the moniker Count Bassy. Griffin always trusted his ear, and he was happy with their early collaborations. To show how serious he was about making music together, Griffin took on the name Marc E. Bassy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Marc E. Bassy era began in earnest with “\u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/marc_e_bassy/andy-griffith\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Andy Griffith\u003c/a>,” which featured Griffin rapping a tribute to North Beach and its many strip clubs over hip-hop drums and airy keys. Then came “\u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/marc_e_bassy/jazzy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jazzy\u003c/a>,” an autobiographical introduction of Bassy to the world, with Griffin playfully rapping “I speak for the betterment of people” and “Remember poetry class? That’s where I became me.” There’s an undeniable joy and nonchalance to these early tracks, \u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/marc_e_bassy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">released on SoundCloud\u003c/a> purely for the sake of sharing music with the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was really refreshing to finally be independent,” Griffin says. “I like to share my music. I’m not shy with it. I feel like when I get it out, that’s when I can move past it.”\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/VYUEExku3w4'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/VYUEExku3w4'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>“Chemical High” was the first song from that early batch to feature Griffin’s now-signature hybrid delivery, equal parts rapping and singing. It was also the standout track that started to gain traction for his new artistic persona.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Next came \u003cem>Only the Poets, Vol. 1\u003c/em>, released last July. “American Dream Life” found Griffin inserting political commentary into his output, and he paired the track with a powerful video featuring Griffin releasing school children from their oppressive teacher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Having a message in music has been corny, but I feel like we’re just getting to the tipping point where that’s about to be the only thing that matters in music,” he says. “There’s no counter-culture… The problems that we’re having as a people are so deep, but they’re not too deep to understand. You could pretty much explain to everybody what’s going on in one song if you wanted to, [but] no one will do that. They’ll just only put a hashtag or a picture and forget about it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“American Dream Life” was his response, and despite his worries about releasing the song and video, Griffin says fan reaction has been positive.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/18ZUcgaIybU'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/18ZUcgaIybU'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Earlier this year, Griffin released his follow-up, the \u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/marc_e_bassy/sets/east-hollywood-ep-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cem>East Hollywood \u003c/em>EP\u003c/a>. During a month-long stay in East Hollywood in his girlfriend’s vacant apartment, he spent the vast majority of his time reading and writing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was on a big [Charles] Bukowski trip,” he says. Bukowski is featured reading a poem on the album intro and later appears in an interlude that excerpts a famous interview of the writer verbally abusing his girlfriend. “That’s kind of when the whole \u003cem>East Hollywood \u003c/em>concept emerged, because that’s where Bukowski lived most of his life and that’s where he wrote.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For “On Top,” Griffin paints a picture of his everyday surroundings at the time, name-dropping the evangelical Christian rappers and Scientologists he’d regularly come across on the streets. “XX” captures his vulnerability, while “Good Money” is a love song on Griffin’s terms, driven by an irresistibly melodic delivery that finds him closing the song with “Part one was the lost soul, you came the sequel / Got a new balance, you my f—ing equal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the project is driven largely by a sound grounded in the more electronic meditations of modern R&B, Griffin’s melodies are the project’s true centerpiece. It may not be immediately apparent, but the sounds of Stevie Wonder and Donny Hathaway drive his sound.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not no [Justin Timberlake] / Maroon 5 type, but that’s what people always wanted me to be like, so if I come with some slick, pop-sounding records, then they’re really gonna think that’s what I am,” he explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Essentially, I make pop songs,” he continues, “and the mission with the first two mixtapes was to disguise that. Melodically, I like classic soul music, and those melodies are the root of pop music today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The best example of his pop aspirations on \u003cem>East Hollywood \u003c/em>would be “Some Things Never Change,” a meditation on lost love and the incessant thirst for — and possible addiction to — fame and success. The struggle is acutely accentuated by a striking guitar riff provided by Chicago production duo Blended Babies.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/0fDmle796Yg'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/0fDmle796Yg'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>“Even though a lot of these themes that come up in my music are just shallow, stupid Hollywood bulls–t – money, fame – I love that s–t. I love being in LA. I get fueled by the drama of it all.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you hear me rap or talk about drugs and sex or whatever, it’s not contrived,” he continues. “That’s really me… Essentially, that’s the goal, right? Just put it all out there and get as honest as you can, and try to find your truth.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That honesty has already caught the attention of the industry.

The thing about seeing a legend like Aretha Franklin is that there is no real way to review a show by a legend like Aretha Franklin. She has 18 Grammys. She's sold \u003cem>75 million\u003c/em> records. Her voice is unmistakable -- one of those voices that feels like it was in your bones before you were verbal enough to name it -- and it's still unmistakably strong. Her range would be impressive for a 25-year-old, and the woman is 73. She gets tired, which is understandable. (This morning, it was announced that she had \u003ca href=\"http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory/aretha-franklin-cancels-las-vegas-show-exhaustion-33017139\" target=\"_blank\">canceled this Friday's show in Las Vegas\u003c/a>, citing exhaustion). She still refuses to fly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before last night, she hadn't played the Bay Area in 37 years. We have no delusions about ever getting to hear her again. But by a landslide, the best thing we heard last night was Aretha motherf---ing Franklin. The best thing we've heard in a very long time, actually.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If I could shake each of your hands tonight, I would, Oakland,\" she said as she prepared to make her exit, silver-sequined dress glinting under spotlight. We'll take what we can get, Aretha. And last night, we got plenty.

The thing about seeing a legend like Aretha Franklin is that there is no real way to review a show by a legend like Aretha Franklin. She has 18 Grammys. She's sold \u003cem>75 million\u003c/em> records. Her voice is unmistakable -- one of those voices that feels like it was in your bones before you were verbal enough to name it -- and it's still unmistakably strong. Her range would be impressive for a 25-year-old, and the woman is 73. She gets tired, which is understandable. (This morning, it was announced that she had \u003ca href=\"http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory/aretha-franklin-cancels-las-vegas-show-exhaustion-33017139\" target=\"_blank\">canceled this Friday's show in Las Vegas\u003c/a>, citing exhaustion). She still refuses to fly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before last night, she hadn't played the Bay Area in 37 years. We have no delusions about ever getting to hear her again. But by a landslide, the best thing we heard last night was Aretha motherf---ing Franklin. The best thing we've heard in a very long time, actually.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If I could shake each of your hands tonight, I would, Oakland,\" she said as she prepared to make her exit, silver-sequined dress glinting under spotlight. We'll take what we can get, Aretha. And last night, we got plenty. Now excuse us while we listen to this for the 17th time today.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/hsL9UL9qbv8'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/hsL9UL9qbv8'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

KQED talked with Alsop on the phone from her apartment in Santa Cruz. The Festival continues in Santa Cruz through August 16.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Cabrillo Festival was co-founded by a group of musicians that included composer Lou Harrison in the early 1960s. What was your understanding of the spirit of the festival when you took over in 1992? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think the spirit of the festival has probably remained consistent since Lou and his colleagues started it. Really it’s a festival about creativity, about existing in the moment, about experimentation. It’s a festival without boundaries, and without rules. And I think we’ve tried to preserve that essence through all of these years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The things that have changed is that the audience has grown tremendously, and the orchestra has grown as well, artistically and technically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The festival is distinctive because it focuses only on contemporary music. Why is it important to stick to that mission?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think in our regular subscription seasons, new music is a bit of a taboo subject. A lot of people are terrified about the idea of new music. I always try to tell them you have to remember Beethoven was once new music too. And that frames it a little better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And to have not only this great number of musicians who are so expert, but also to have an audience that is so open to hearing all contemporary music, when in the main seasons, putting even one contemporary piece on the program would probably be met with trepidation by audiences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You’ve invited Missy Mazzoli, Mason Bates, Hannah Lash, and Nico Muhly, among others, to be resident composers at this year’s festival. What do they have in common?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think they represent a new generation of composers. They’re all quite young. They’re all extremely energetic and vibrant. They have very distinctive voices. What really appeals to me is that they use our 21st century sound-world to incorporate into their pieces. To have technology involved is also a hallmark of this younger generation that is so comfortable with blending these new technologies into the acoustic orchestra.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tell me about the piece you’ve commissioned — “Eating Flowers” by Hannah Lash — which is getting its world premiere at the festival.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is a piece that is part of a project that [American composer] John Adams started with us several years ago now, where John identifies a young composer and sponsors a short commission by that composer. So Hannah Lash is a new composer to the festival and to me. Her piece is quite minimalist. She has these arpeggiated, repeated figures that we associate now with minimalist music. I think for a young composer she’s able to create a unique sound world. So it really is a very cool, kind of magical piece.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How does new orchestral music become part of the standard repertory when so few orchestras are willing to program contemporary music?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is the big challenge for new music. All I can look to are a few pieces I conducted here at Cabrillo, like James MacMillan’s \u003cem>Veni, Veni Emmanuel\u003c/em>, his first percussion concerto. I fell in love with MacMillan’s music through this piece. And \u003cem>Veni\u003c/em> celebrated its 300th performance [in 2003]. It’s a piece that has become part of the standard repertoire. And I think there are certain pieces by John Adams that have become part of the standard repertoire. But it takes hundreds of performances, I think, to make this happen. And it takes being championed by many artists, conductors, or soloists to be successful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So in my lifetime, I’ve witnessed half a dozen, maybe even a dozen [works], that have really put their mark on the standard repertoire. It doesn’t happen that often, that’s for sure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>There are so few women running classical music organizations. What is your responsibility as the conductor at the Baltimore Symphony and at Cabrillo to change that?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People often ask me why there aren’t more women conducting on the podiums of the world. It certainly hasn’t changed dramatically over the last 30 years since I was a young conductor. I was surprised by that. I sort of assumed that there would be more and more women in these roles. But I think that unless we as women in leadership roles decide to be really proactive in changing the landscape, it won’t change. So it manifests for me in a fellowship that I created in 2002 for young women conductors. We just appointed our 11th recipient of the fellowship. And I I have to say that of those women, they’re all doing fantastically well. Four of the women are American music directors. Another has her own orchestra. So everyone is succeeding in changing that landscape for future generations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I read that your mother supported your dream of being a conductor despite the fact that there were very few women conductors when you were coming up. What did she say to you?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oh my mother and my father both supported my dream to become a conductor. But my parents were both professional musicians, so as long as I was going to be a musician, they were very happy. When I was told things like, “oh girls can’t be conductors,” my mother would always say, ‘that’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard.” Growing up in a family where there were no restrictions and no preconceptions about what a girl could or couldn’t do was instrumental in my pursuing my dream.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Did anyone ever tell you, “you’re a woman so you can’t do this”?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course. Many times. I have different reactions when people say you’re not good enough. That’s one thing. That’s changeable. But saying you can’t do something because you’re a woman: that’s absolutely idiotic. I just ignored that entirely. That is a fundamentally flawed argument and shows that the person is someone who’s very threatened and not very secure in themselves.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Elton John\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Elton John is an artist with a deep, deep catalog of hits, and nearly every song he started Sunday night garnered a knowing cheer from the crowd. Even if you don’t think you know his stuff, you do. Outside Lands has booked these big “legacy” headliners in the past few years — Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, Tom Petty — and it’s a good move, especially on closing night, and especially with someone who can get a giant field singing along to “Honky Cat,” “Benny and the Jets,” “Candle in the Wind” and so, so many others; you already essentially know the setlist and so does the rest of the world. Case in point would be the person standing next to me on Sunday, a graffiti artist who listens to rap music and has neck tattoos, and who surprised me throughout the set with lyrical prowess and obscure trivia about Elton John. He even sang harmonies on “Tiny Dancer”! Elton John is \u003cem>that\u003c/em> universal. (Also: shout out to the fan who brought a Buzz Lightyear Mylar balloon and \u003ca href=\"https://vine.co/v/ew33VODTtlL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">released it into the sky during “Rocket Man.”\u003c/a>)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10888736\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/OL.SexualBand-1180x787.jpg\" alt=\"(Photo: Gabe Meline/KQED)\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" class=\"size-large wp-image-10888736\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/OL.SexualBand-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/OL.SexualBand-400x267.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/OL.SexualBand-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/OL.SexualBand.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/OL.SexualBand-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Photo: Gabe Meline/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>2.

Denson’s been asked about it from fans and interviewers, over and over, for years, never living it down. So what did he do Sunday? Assembled a band clad in powder-blue tuxedos and performed as Sexual Chocolate, that’s what. While Donald Wressell from Guittard Chocolate crafted a semi-phallic sculpture to the side of the stage, lead vocalist Ziek McCarter — fresh from a gig with his band Con Brio at Stern Grove, just hours before — crooned Whitney Houston’s “Greatest Love of All,” Smokey Robinson’s “Ooh Baby Baby,” and even the over-the-top theme to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGrasobHcKA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Soul Glo commercial\u003c/a> featured in the movie.

Dan Deacon\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Dan Deacon began his set by announcing he did mushrooms the night before, telling everyone to raise a hand to the sky, and then to imagine forcing out all their inhibitions. If you weren’t on board with this plan, he said, “the \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pB-5XG-DbAA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">guy that steals songs from Tom Petty\u003c/a> is playing in the next field over.” Deacon’s a perfect festival act who utilizes the crowd sometimes for gigantic organized dance parties — as he did Sunday — and sometimes for licking lollipops triggered to samples on his laptop, as he did Saturday. If you want to overthink the man, he manages to tie together the conceptualism of John Cage and the spastic electronics of Squarepusher to create a wholly life-affirming experience. If you want to dance your ass off, well, he’s there for you, too. \u003ca href=\"https://instagram.com/p/6L0CXCSSRC/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Watch his crowd go from zero to lit in 10 seconds flat here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[gallery type=\"slideshow\" size=\"full\" ids=\"10888734,10888737,10888729,10888727,10888736,10888720,10888719,10888728,10888731,10888721,10888722,10888723,10888724,10888725,10888726,10888730,10888732,10888718,10888733,10888735\"]\u003c/p>\n\n",

Case in point would be the person standing next to me on Sunday, a graffiti artist who listens to rap music and has neck tattoos, and who surprised me throughout the set with lyrical prowess and obscure trivia about Elton John. He even sang harmonies on “Tiny Dancer”! Elton John is \u003cem>that\u003c/em> universal.

Sexual Chocolate\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In the late ’80s, saxophonist Karl Denson appeared in Eddie Murphy’s classic comedy \u003cem>Coming to America\u003c/em> as a member of a \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzANAr1V82c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hilarious fictional band called Sexual Chocolate\u003c/a>. Denson’s been asked about it from fans and interviewers, over and over, for years, never living it down. So what did he do Sunday? Assembled a band clad in powder-blue tuxedos and performed as Sexual Chocolate, that’s what. While Donald Wressell from Guittard Chocolate crafted a semi-phallic sculpture to the side of the stage, lead vocalist Ziek McCarter — fresh from a gig with his band Con Brio at Stern Grove, just hours before — crooned Whitney Houston’s “Greatest Love of All,” Smokey Robinson’s “Ooh Baby Baby,” and even the over-the-top theme to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGrasobHcKA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Soul Glo commercial\u003c/a> featured in the movie. McCarter actually hit those high notes! The whole thing was nuts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10888721\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/OL.Deacon1-1180x787.jpg\" alt=\"(Photo: Gabe Meline/KQED)\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" class=\"size-large wp-image-10888721\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/OL.Deacon1-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/OL.Deacon1-400x267.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/OL.Deacon1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/OL.Deacon1.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/OL.Deacon1-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Photo: Gabe Meline/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>3. Dan Deacon\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Dan Deacon began his set by announcing he did mushrooms the night before, telling everyone to raise a hand to the sky, and then to imagine forcing out all their inhibitions. If you weren’t on board with this plan, he said, “the \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pB-5XG-DbAA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">guy that steals songs from Tom Petty\u003c/a> is playing in the next field over.” Deacon’s a perfect festival act who utilizes the crowd sometimes for gigantic organized dance parties — as he did Sunday — and sometimes for licking lollipops triggered to samples on his laptop, as he did Saturday. If you want to overthink the man, he manages to tie together the conceptualism of John Cage and the spastic electronics of Squarepusher to create a wholly life-affirming experience. If you want to dance your ass off, well, he’s there for you, too. \u003ca href=\"https://instagram.com/p/6L0CXCSSRC/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Watch his crowd go from zero to lit in 10 seconds flat here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Saturday at Outside Lands is always busier, crazier and more extreme in just about every way than either Friday or Sunday, and this year was no exception. As for the crowd, we witnessed more rule-breakers, gate-crashers, and people using Golden Gate Park’s lush landscape to shield a variety of salacious activities than ever; we also saw huge surges of communal joy, good-Samaritan acts toward strangers, and 70,000 people becoming greater than the sum of their parts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The music reflected this.

But honestly, though it was crowded, the whole we’re-all-in-tight-together thing just felt \u003cem>right\u003c/em>. Kendrick turned in a festival-friendly set lopsided toward sure shots from his sophomore breakthrough \u003cem>good Kid, m.A.A.d. city\u003c/em> — “Swimming Pools,” “Backseat Freestyle,” “Bitch Don’t Kill My Vibe,” “Sing About Me, I’m Dying of Thirst” — which felt, for the first hour, slightly like a missed opportunity to challenge minds on a massive scale by dipping into the \u003ca href=\"http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/20390-to-pimp-a-butterfly/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">highly politicized, musically experimental\u003c/a> material from his new album. But Kendrick’s smarter than that; no one wants to hear \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5Ri76UodWM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tortured, drunken, crying poetry\u003c/a> at a festival. And so the three songs that came late in the set from \u003cem>To Pimp a Butterfly\u003c/em> were the obvious, accessible choices: “i,” “King Kunta,” and “Alright.” And you know what? By their universal nature, they brought the whole 30,000-strong hollow together at a time when \u003ca href=\"http://www.theroot.com/articles/news/2015/08/police_facebook_group_mocks_death_of_michael_brown.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">we could sure use a little more unity\u003c/a>. For set closer “Alright,” the large-scale video footage switched to scenes shot on Treasure Island as a California flag waved above the crowd. After a long biographical spoken-word interlude about overcoming adversity, Kendrick dedicated the song to a guy crowd-surfing… \u003cem>in a wheelchair\u003c/em>.

Billy Idol\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Yeah, Billy Idol is nearly a caricature at this point, but he’s an oddly lovable one. The curled lip and tough-guy posturing is easy to poke fun at, but can anyone successfully mock “\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKmldYSDJaM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eyes Without a Face\u003c/a>”? Good luck; the song is invincible. “Dancing With Myself”? Stands all tests of time. Even Idol’s cornier themes like “Flesh for Fantasy,” as he showed Saturday, hold up well. The major downside to Idol’s set was the criminal absence of “\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncEjFI9OXEM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kiss Me Deadly\u003c/a>,” the greatest song about living on the streets of London ever written — just this beautiful, Springsteen-esque anthem of poverty and loneliness and teenage recklessness. \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncEjFI9OXEM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Listen to it here\u003c/a> as played by Idol’s early band Generation X, and then ask yourself why in the world Billy Idol would not simply play this song at every single show he ever plays. Instead, he closed with “Rebel Yell” and “White Wedding,” and everyone loved it, but alas. At least he represented Generation X’s stellar debut album with “Ready Steady Go.” Bonus: Billy Idol still has that signature snarl, and his band looks exactly like you’d imagine them to look; see slideshow below. \u003cem>— G.M.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10886223\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-10886223\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/big-freedia-wendy-goodfriend-1180x787.jpg\" alt=\"Big Freedia at GastroMagic at Outside Lands.

Big Freedia\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It’s easy to feel down in an environment permeated by corporate sheen and overly targeted marketing — and that’s exactly when you should make your way over to wherever Big Freedia is, because Big Freedia is the antidote. What other artist can whip the crowd into a pure, visceral, ass-shaking frenzy, then calmly hand out fresh beignets from nearby trays — because this a tie-in with Brenda’s French Soul Food, you see — without missing a single glorious twerk-beat? If last summer’s relatively smoothed-out album \u003cem>Just Be Free\u003c/em> was intended to carry the Queen Diva of Bounce over the mainstream threshold, it’s reassuring to find that it wasn’t at the expense of the fantastically frenetic style which earned Freedia her loyal fans in the first place. She was magnetic above all else, lunging around a too-small stage with a graceful ferocity and conducting a constant stream of booty-moving from both her backup dancers and stage-crashing audience members. Say what you will about the homogeny of the mainstream music landscape in 2015, but the fact that someone like Freedia thrives with the kids (and it was a young, \u003cem>amped\u003c/em> crowd) is about as encouraging as it gets.\u003cem>— E.S.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10886970\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-10886970\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/OL.TameImpala-1180x787.jpg\" alt=\"(Photo: Gabe Meline/KQED)\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/OL.TameImpala-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/OL.TameImpala-400x267.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/OL.TameImpala-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/OL.TameImpala.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/OL.TameImpala-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Photo: Gabe Meline/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>4. Tame Impala\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Tame Impala’s ascent has arguably relied upon songwriter/producer Kevin Parker’s ability to satisfy his own curiosity while still conjuring a sound that lands squarely in the middle of some touchy Venn diagrams: The Australian wunderkind makes psych-rock for people who roll their eyes at psych-rock, and electronic music for people who don’t think they like electronic music. Live, there’s the added challenge of translating a highly solitary recording experience into a bass-booming, head-nodding, stoner-accessible five-piece dance party. By that metric, Tame Impala took the Outside Lands main stage by the hand and led it into a wholly entertaining, self-assured mating ritual last night, playing nearly all the way through their new, critically lauded album \u003cem>Currents\u003c/em>. If there’s something fundamentally uninteresting about synth-driven music played at a festival scale by five dorky guys when it’s not even dark yet — even at their most animated, electronic fireworks are just not as exciting a live experience as guitar or drum fireworks, etc., no matter how many screensaver-trippy visuals you project onto a screen behind them — the gents make up for it by being just that endearingly dorky. “You look beautiful out there,” said Parker to the adoring hordes near the end of the set. “I felt awful when I woke up today, and you guys have really turned it around.” Do go on, Parker. We’d bet a healthy number of casual fans left devotees. \u003cem>— E.S.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10886976\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10886976\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/Negrito.jpg\" alt=\"Fantastic Negrito.\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/Negrito.jpg 640w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/Negrito-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fantastic Negrito.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>5. Support for Fantastic Negrito\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>We’d have loved to include a midday set by Oakland’s own Fantastic Negrito in this roundup, but under highly questionable circumstances, his set was canceled. Instead of performing onstage as a victory lap for his NPR Tiny Desk Concert contest win, Fantastic Negrito — born Xavier Dphrepaulezz — sat for a reported three hours on Saturday in the back of an SFPD van, detained and handcuffed. The reason? It turns out a young intern of Negrito’s decided to sell an extra artist wristband for the festival on Craigslist, and was located by police outside the festival on the sidewalk, where he and two others, including Negrito, were detained — despite the intern reportedly admitting from the onset that he’d acted alone in scalping the wristband. Several news outlets picked up the story, both from the police department’s point of view \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Fantastic-Negrito-s-Outside-Lands-show-canceled-6433539.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in the \u003cem>Chronicle\u003c/em>\u003c/a> and Dphrepaulezz’s point of view \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbayexpress.com/CultureSpyBlog/archives/2015/08/09/fantastic-negrito-detained-by-sfpd-on-questionable-grounds-at-outside-lands\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in the \u003cem>East Bay Express\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, but the looming question regards festival organizers’ collusion with SFPD over the detention, \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_28609911/oakland-musician-says-he-was-handcuffed-detained-by\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported in the \u003cem>San Jose Mercury News\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, and the fact that the municipal code cited \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/Lefebvre_Sam/status/630180785341923329\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">doesn’t actually apply to online sales\u003c/a>, or that illegal scalping remains rampant outside the festival gates. The upside to all this is that the story flew around social media all day, with Fantastic Negrito’s many fans showing support. At one point, a frustrated but gratified Dphrepaulezz \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/MusicNegrito/status/630193030998286337\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tweeted\u003c/a>: “I owe y’all a free concert on the steps of the SFPD station.” \u003cem>— G.M.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[gallery type=\"slideshow\" size=\"full\" ids=\"10886956,10886957,10886958,10886960,10886961,10886962,10886963,10886964,10886965,10886966,10886967,10886968,10886969,10886970,10886971,10886972,10886974,10886223,10886220,10886218\"]\u003c/p>\n\n",

As for the crowd, we witnessed more rule-breakers, gate-crashers, and people using Golden Gate Park’s lush landscape to shield a variety of salacious activities than ever; we also saw huge surges of communal joy, good-Samaritan acts toward strangers, and 70,000 people becoming greater than the sum of their parts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The music reflected this.

But honestly, though it was crowded, the whole we’re-all-in-tight-together thing just felt \u003cem>right\u003c/em>. Kendrick turned in a festival-friendly set lopsided toward sure shots from his sophomore breakthrough \u003cem>good Kid, m.A.A.d. city\u003c/em> — “Swimming Pools,” “Backseat Freestyle,” “Bitch Don’t Kill My Vibe,” “Sing About Me, I’m Dying of Thirst” — which felt, for the first hour, slightly like a missed opportunity to challenge minds on a massive scale by dipping into the \u003ca href=\"http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/20390-to-pimp-a-butterfly/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">highly politicized, musically experimental\u003c/a> material from his new album. But Kendrick’s smarter than that; no one wants to hear \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5Ri76UodWM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tortured, drunken, crying poetry\u003c/a> at a festival. And so the three songs that came late in the set from \u003cem>To Pimp a Butterfly\u003c/em> were the obvious, accessible choices: “i,” “King Kunta,” and “Alright.” And you know what? By their universal nature, they brought the whole 30,000-strong hollow together at a time when \u003ca href=\"http://www.theroot.com/articles/news/2015/08/police_facebook_group_mocks_death_of_michael_brown.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">we could sure use a little more unity\u003c/a>. For set closer “Alright,” the large-scale video footage switched to scenes shot on Treasure Island as a California flag waved above the crowd. After a long biographical spoken-word interlude about overcoming adversity, Kendrick dedicated the song to a guy crowd-surfing… \u003cem>in a wheelchair\u003c/em>.

Billy Idol\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Yeah, Billy Idol is nearly a caricature at this point, but he’s an oddly lovable one. The curled lip and tough-guy posturing is easy to poke fun at, but can anyone successfully mock “\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKmldYSDJaM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eyes Without a Face\u003c/a>”? Good luck; the song is invincible. “Dancing With Myself”? Stands all tests of time. Even Idol’s cornier themes like “Flesh for Fantasy,” as he showed Saturday, hold up well. The major downside to Idol’s set was the criminal absence of “\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncEjFI9OXEM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kiss Me Deadly\u003c/a>,” the greatest song about living on the streets of London ever written — just this beautiful, Springsteen-esque anthem of poverty and loneliness and teenage recklessness. \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncEjFI9OXEM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Listen to it here\u003c/a> as played by Idol’s early band Generation X, and then ask yourself why in the world Billy Idol would not simply play this song at every single show he ever plays. Instead, he closed with “Rebel Yell” and “White Wedding,” and everyone loved it, but alas. At least he represented Generation X’s stellar debut album with “Ready Steady Go.” Bonus: Billy Idol still has that signature snarl, and his band looks exactly like you’d imagine them to look; see slideshow below. \u003cem>— G.M.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10886223\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-10886223\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/big-freedia-wendy-goodfriend-1180x787.jpg\" alt=\"Big Freedia at GastroMagic at Outside Lands.

Big Freedia\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It’s easy to feel down in an environment permeated by corporate sheen and overly targeted marketing — and that’s exactly when you should make your way over to wherever Big Freedia is, because Big Freedia is the antidote. What other artist can whip the crowd into a pure, visceral, ass-shaking frenzy, then calmly hand out fresh beignets from nearby trays — because this a tie-in with Brenda’s French Soul Food, you see — without missing a single glorious twerk-beat? If last summer’s relatively smoothed-out album \u003cem>Just Be Free\u003c/em> was intended to carry the Queen Diva of Bounce over the mainstream threshold, it’s reassuring to find that it wasn’t at the expense of the fantastically frenetic style which earned Freedia her loyal fans in the first place. She was magnetic above all else, lunging around a too-small stage with a graceful ferocity and conducting a constant stream of booty-moving from both her backup dancers and stage-crashing audience members. Say what you will about the homogeny of the mainstream music landscape in 2015, but the fact that someone like Freedia thrives with the kids (and it was a young, \u003cem>amped\u003c/em> crowd) is about as encouraging as it gets.\u003cem>— E.S.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10886970\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-10886970\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/OL.TameImpala-1180x787.jpg\" alt=\"(Photo: Gabe Meline/KQED)\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/OL.TameImpala-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/OL.TameImpala-400x267.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/OL.TameImpala-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/OL.TameImpala.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/OL.TameImpala-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Photo: Gabe Meline/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>4. Tame Impala\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Tame Impala’s ascent has arguably relied upon songwriter/producer Kevin Parker’s ability to satisfy his own curiosity while still conjuring a sound that lands squarely in the middle of some touchy Venn diagrams: The Australian wunderkind makes psych-rock for people who roll their eyes at psych-rock, and electronic music for people who don’t think they like electronic music. Live, there’s the added challenge of translating a highly solitary recording experience into a bass-booming, head-nodding, stoner-accessible five-piece dance party. By that metric, Tame Impala took the Outside Lands main stage by the hand and led it into a wholly entertaining, self-assured mating ritual last night, playing nearly all the way through their new, critically lauded album \u003cem>Currents\u003c/em>. If there’s something fundamentally uninteresting about synth-driven music played at a festival scale by five dorky guys when it’s not even dark yet — even at their most animated, electronic fireworks are just not as exciting a live experience as guitar or drum fireworks, etc., no matter how many screensaver-trippy visuals you project onto a screen behind them — the gents make up for it by being just that endearingly dorky. “You look beautiful out there,” said Parker to the adoring hordes near the end of the set. “I felt awful when I woke up today, and you guys have really turned it around.” Do go on, Parker. We’d bet a healthy number of casual fans left devotees. \u003cem>— E.S.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10886976\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10886976\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/Negrito.jpg\" alt=\"Fantastic Negrito.\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/Negrito.jpg 640w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/Negrito-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fantastic Negrito.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>5. Support for Fantastic Negrito\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>We’d have loved to include a midday set by Oakland’s own Fantastic Negrito in this roundup, but under highly questionable circumstances, his set was canceled. Instead of performing onstage as a victory lap for his NPR Tiny Desk Concert contest win, Fantastic Negrito — born Xavier Dphrepaulezz — sat for a reported three hours on Saturday in the back of an SFPD van, detained and handcuffed. The reason? It turns out a young intern of Negrito’s decided to sell an extra artist wristband for the festival on Craigslist, and was located by police outside the festival on the sidewalk, where he and two others, including Negrito, were detained — despite the intern reportedly admitting from the onset that he’d acted alone in scalping the wristband. Several news outlets picked up the story, both from the police department’s point of view \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Fantastic-Negrito-s-Outside-Lands-show-canceled-6433539.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in the \u003cem>Chronicle\u003c/em>\u003c/a> and Dphrepaulezz’s point of view \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbayexpress.com/CultureSpyBlog/archives/2015/08/09/fantastic-negrito-detained-by-sfpd-on-questionable-grounds-at-outside-lands\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in the \u003cem>East Bay Express\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, but the looming question regards festival organizers’ collusion with SFPD over the detention, \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_28609911/oakland-musician-says-he-was-handcuffed-detained-by\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported in the \u003cem>San Jose Mercury News\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, and the fact that the municipal code cited \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/Lefebvre_Sam/status/630180785341923329\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">doesn’t actually apply to online sales\u003c/a>, or that illegal scalping remains rampant outside the festival gates. The upside to all this is that the story flew around social media all day, with Fantastic Negrito’s many fans showing support. At one point, a frustrated but gratified Dphrepaulezz \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/MusicNegrito/status/630193030998286337\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tweeted\u003c/a>: “I owe y’all a free concert on the steps of the SFPD station.” \u003cem>— G.M.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The following spring, Stanford students Larry Page and Sergey Brin began developing a Web-based “crawling” technology called BackRub, laying the foundation for the creation of Google.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The success of the IPO created the term “Netscape Moment” -- a giddy point that marks the starting gun of a new industry and age. Many business historians say the dot-com boom began that day. Soon, everyone was pestering their broker for tips on new companies. Day trading of stocks via online brokers such as Ameritrade or Etrade was now considered a career.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Companies like \u003ca href=\"http://www.redhat.com/en/about/company\">Red Hat Software\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.akamai.com/us/en/about/company-history.jsp\">Akamai Technologies\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.theglobe.com/\">theGlobe.com\u003c/a> would surpass even Netscape’s heights, seeing their shares rise more than 400 percent in their first day of trading -- an excitement that former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan famously called “irrational exuberance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Was it? Business was radically and quickly reshaped worldwide by inexpensive communications based on a browser-based Internet. It was the biggest era of U.S. wealth creation in generations.

A spontaneous citywide wake developed. Mayor Frank Jordan ordered city flags to fly at half-staff\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hundreds gathered in Haight-Ashbury, the low-rent neighborhood that formed a spiritual base for 1960s counterculture. Some sat on the stoop of 710 Ashbury, the ornate house where the Grateful Dead briefly lived, to console, cry, talk it out and get high. Thousands of mourners gathered in Golden Gate Park, listening to tapes of the Dead and creating a makeshift shrine to Jerry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[jerrygarciamourners]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That night, Dead guitarist Bob Weir went ahead with a scheduled solo show in Hampton Beach, N.H. “If our dear, departed friend proved anything to us,” Weir told the crowd, “he proved that great music can make sad times better.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Deadheads high and low knew better -- an age had passed. Sen. Patrick Leahy said the news of Garcia’s death felt “like I had been kicked in the stomach.” A month earlier, at the band’s final gig with Garcia in Chicago, they ended the show with the song “Box of Rain” and its prescient lyrics: “Such a long long time to be gone/and a short time to be there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch2>\"So Many Roads\" From Garcia's Final Concert\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe width=\"400\" height=\"300\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/6sFyRQPraJ8\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>For Garcia and many Deadheads, that short time was now over. The group had survived the death of other active members -- founding member Ron \"Pigpen\" McKernan succumbed to an internal hemorrhage in 1973, and keyboardist Brent Mydland died from a drug overdose in 1990 -- but the loss of their colorful leader, affectionately known as Captain Trips, was insurmountable. Within four months of Garcia’s passing, the band that had meant so much to so many officially called it quits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the closing bell of the stock market, Netscape shareholders were also in a state of shock, although a delightful one. Many were now staggeringly wealthy. Jim Clark’s 20 percent share was suddenly worth $663 million. Champagne bottles were popped open; toasts were made.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heady days were still ahead, but nothing compared with the surreal euphoria of that first day. Netscape’s stock peaked in late 1995 at $171 share, before its market share began to slip. AOL acquired the company in 1999 for $10 billion, but by 2002 it was sliding rapidly and had less than 10 percent of the browser market. In early 2008, AOL finally pulled the plug on the Netscape browser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But on that warm August day in 1995, Netheads and Deadheads shared a moment of high drama and importance -- one group thrilling to a colorful dawn, the other wistfully watching a darkening sunset. The zeitgeist was changing. The fading notes of the psychedelic age started to be drowned out by the buzz of red-hot startups. LSD was replaced by IPO. Idealism was out; stock options were in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some people made the connection at the time, and soon after Garcia’s death some black humor began circulating in the Silicon Valley high-tech community:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>What were Jerry Garcia’s last words?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>“Netscape opened at WHAT?!”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today is the 20th anniversary of that momentous day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>James Daly is a Bay Area journalist and entrepreneur -- frequently both.
