Like a Virgin

I've never been to the Virgin Festival, and this year's lineup will not be enticing me out into the herd.

"Billie Jean" inspired website aside, I can't help but feel that Toronto Rock City would be better off if the Canadian bands weren't relegated to "lowest common font-size" status. But, I get it, I really do. This is Sir Branson exporting his nation's "culture" around the world, attempting to plant the seeds of Brit-pop everywhere the festival goes. There is one problem...

Close one eye and cover the part of the image that says 'Bloc Party', and the part that says '2008'. By now, of course, you've already forgotten the names of the bands along the bottom.

Now. What year is it?

Yep.

1998.
