...bill, handpicked by Moby, is exuberantly multiracial and gender friendly and features some of the top acts in hip-hop, pop, rock and dance music. Many industry veterans believe it will be the very definition of a noble failure. "Idealistically, it's a great concept," says Gary Bongiovanni, editor in chief of tour industry bible Pollstar. "Whether it's financially practical is another matter...

He approached Bruckheimer, who says he was intrigued by "a period that had a lot of innocence and a lot of brutality at the same time." The concept now seems like a no-brainer; Steven Spielberg (with Saving Private Ryan) and NBC news anchor Tom Brokaw (in his Greatest Generation books) have spun America's World War II nostalgia into gold, but market research for Pearl Harbor showed that the desirable high-moviegoing audience of ages 19 to 24 generally had no idea what Pearl Harbor...
