1 | * CreatorBacklash: The Rover Hendrix sight gag has been called one of the worst jokes in show's history by the writers and producers. |
2 | * MemeAcknowledgment: 27 years on from the episode's airing, Cypress Hill replied to a Simpsons fan Instagram account that [[https://www.outkick.com/cypress-hill-says-theyre-going-to-make-a-30-year-old-simpsons-joke-a-reality-by-performing-with-london-symphony-orchestra/ they're trying to arrange the London Symphony Orchestra to play for one of their concerts.]] |

4 | * PopCulturalOsmosis: Music/The5thDimension actually recorded a song titled "''Wedding Bell Blues''", not "''Weddings Are Nice.''" |
5 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: |
6 | ** Music/PeterFrampton's role was originally meant for Music/BobDylan, who declined. Music/NeilYoung and Music/PearlJam were also sought for the episode but turned down the offer. |
7 | ** Music/CourtneyLove and Music/{{Hole}} were wanted for this episode, but they declined. However, Music/SonicYouth said that if Courtney Love were in the episode, they would not be. It was thought that Love would appear in the episode because she had recently done a film with Creator/JamesLBrooks, but she never responded to the request. Love was wanted specifically for one joke which would be in an exchange between her and Homer: |
8 | --->'''Courtney Love''': Hi Homer! I'm a big fan, Courtney Love. |
9 | --->'''Homer''': Homer Grateful! |
10 | ** Music/NoDoubt were also supposed to appear in the episode, thanks to Music/GwenStefani's brother being an artist on the show at the time, but had to pull out of the last minute. A caricature of the band can be seen in the background after Homer speaks with Hullapalooza's manager. |
11 | * WriteWhatYouKnow: Brent Forrester attended Lollapalooza to do research for this episode and found it to be a miserable experience, with many of the jokes in this episode based on that experience (Getting accused of being a "narc" by a concert-goer, lots of ads, a freak show, several sour-faced teens and cameras being seized and thrown in the trash). |
