Morely came down from Canada with his buds to enjoy the music at Woodstock 99. While they did enjoy seeing their fellow countrymen (and women) like The Tragically Hip and Alanis Morissette, they got more than they bargained for at the rave and the riots. Oh Canada, this is a good one!

Fair warning folks, we are covering the roughest two sets of the entire festival on this episode. We have been hard on bands before that might not have necessarily deserved it but in this episode all the blows are well deserved. We have Everlast repping white folks a little too hard, a doomsday cult that was featured on the Ice Age soundtrack, and the iconic Elvis Costello, who at the time was riding Austin Powers 2 fame. Be glad that we watched these so you didn’t have to.

Willie Nelson takes the East Stage and brings some much needed 69 vibes to the masses. Don’t get too comfortable though, it’s about to majorly pop off.
