Lollapalooza's Problem, Man Bag Summer and the Ariana Grande Discourse
from The Parting Shot with H. Alan Scott
Summer's almost done, so let's see what it left behind. A festival that forgot what made it singular. A pop star who decided the conversation about her body was not one she had to attend. And a lot of men finally admitting they need somewhere to put their stuff. Three stories, all circling the same question: What do we do with the people we watch? Labor Day is fast approaching. Consider this the end of summer receipt. First up, comedian Coltown Dowling joined Newsweek’s H. Alan Scott to break down why Lollapalooza should go back to being a touring festival. They also chatted about how Heated Rivalry’s Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams have been spotted around Toronto in fashionable man bags, which begs the question, are we in a man bag summer? Finally, Newsweek’s Lauren Giella chats about this complicated discussion circling around Ariana Grande at the moment.
