Alt-rock pioneers Dinosaur Jr. return to the freak scene as seniors
by Ken Switzer
July 11th, 2005 1:30 PMIf you subscribe to the adage "If it’s too loud, you’re too old," then the recently reunited alternative-rock pioneers Dinosaur Jr. haven’t aged a bit over the past 15 years. And if you’re unable to score tickets to their sure to be sold-out show at Central Park SummerStage on July 14, don’t worryâ€â€

I like the White Stipes ok. It’s bands like Nickleback that need to listen up in my opnion.
