Obama At Lollapalooza?

We've been gearing up for Chicago's Lollapalooza music fest all of this week by listening to the free version of NIN's "The Slip," practicing applying MGMT body paint, teasing our hair for Love and Rockets. Additionally, though, we can't seem to ignore the buzz about presidential hopeful Barack Obama making a cameo appearance to introduce a Chicago-centric headliner.

Between Wilco and Kanye, we can't make up our minds... on the one hand, introducing Kanye would solidify everything the young person has ever thought of Obama: dude is hip as hell. On the other hand, he could benefit by grabbing a few more 26-42-year-old white dude votes.

Or maybe he could just give a shout out to Chicago's Bloodshot Records and rock out alongside Ha Ha Tonka.
