Under the Radar interviews Miki Berenyi of Lush:
Lollapalooza was a genuine rollercoaster. I did find it difficult to accept the astonishingly macho attitudes... And there was a lot of use and abuse of groupies. I guess everyone involved would say that the girls were willing participants, but a naïve 'nobody' is likely to overstep their normal boundaries of their behaviour if they think they will get attention from someone they idolise, and that can lead to rather sordid and upsetting situations ripe for exploitation. That said, there was a genuine sense of euphoria and enjoyment on the tour.
Sadly, there's no Lush reunion in the foreseeable future. "Not sure how enthusiastic the support would be if they realized that bringing back Miki Berenyi would deliver a 40-year-old office employee with graying hair who’s still struggling to shift the weight from her last pregnancy."

Ah yes, I barely remember their set at Lolla that year. We got in a little late and caught the tail end. It was the only time I saw Lush. I still love "Light Froma Dead Star."
