It should be difficult to criticize something you didn’t actually participate in, which is what Randy Brachman does in his column, “Wash. U. Gone W.I.L.D.” (Oct. 15).

After leaving what I thought was a spectacular concert two Saturday nights ago, I couldn’t help but brag to my friends at other schools about not only W.I.L.D. in general, but especially our latest concert.

So we all know what happened last weekend, right? W.I.L.D., that’s what. Talib Kweli, some other people. Great times, right? Well, I wouldn’t know. Let me tell you why.

For a performance as large as W.I.L.D., many different production elements must come together to produce a successful show.

Going to W.I.L.D. without knowing what sort of treat awaits can be irritating; you want to be psyched, geeked, amped, stoked, keyed up—whatever your phrase may be—but it’s hard if you aren’t familiar with the headliner. Allow me to introduce you to Talib Kweli.

Headlined by Brooklyn hip-hop artist Talib Kweli, students can hear hype for tomorrow’s fall W.I.L.D. lineup echoing through campus.

Brooklyn hip-hop artist Talib Kweli will be the lead act at fall W.I.L.D. on Oct. 11, officials from Team 31 confirmed Tuesday.
