Assalamu Alaikum,

[quote]What is Lollapalooza [/quote]

Looked it up in google, seems to be some type of Alternative Music tour thingy.... check out http://www.lollapalooza.com/

Don't think it's a Muslim bumper sticker- probably an advertising mechanism for Lolla...

WAllaahu A'lam,
Wassalamu Alaikum,

the word has been around a long time, although i doubt it is an official word in he dictionary.  but the approx meaning is: something pushed to the limit or wild and fantastic.

Al-Hajj is the pilgrimage to Makkah...incumbent on man once in his/her lifetime.   :)

'The Oxford English Dictionary spells it "lalapaloosa," and defines it as "U.S. slang. Fanciful formation. Something outstandingly good of its kind." '

Also:

'Lollapalooza has become an American cultural institution. Designed as a celebration of the music and attitudes of the budding alternative nation, Lollapalooza is today an enormously lucrative traveling circus of mainstream rock giants. '

Next time I come across a really good post I think I'll use lalapaloosa to describe how good it was.

Hey Halima this was a real Lalapaloosa post!

I know this from my high-school, non-Muslim days .... Lollapalooza is like a modern Woodstock, only a little more "careful" if you know what I mean ?

That is funny!!!  :D

[slm]  All,

Watching the Music Room on CNN, the word Lollapalooza was being mentioned like an everyday word.  Thanks to all of you here who made me understand what it is.
