Paul McCartney began to play "Here Today," his 1982 tribute to John Lennon, on the main stage at Lollapalooza 2015 ? but his acoustic guitar couldn't overpower the bass crossing Chicago's Grant Park at 128 beats per minute. He stopped strumming a few notes in. "I intended this," McCartney joked to the crowd. "It's like a crazy mash-up of this song and whatever shit they're playing."
The "shit," in this case, was once-local EDM star Kaskade. When the DJ read about the comment in the morning paper, he couldn't stop laughing. "I love that!" he says, once again cracking up. "There's something irreverent about electronic music, that it's very young and youthful, so the fact that I pissed some old guy off is very funny. Life achievement unlocked."
