Among the highlights of this weekend's Hopscotch music festival was a Saturday night performance by legendary hip hop artist Public Enemy in the City Plaza.

We mention the show because it led to one of those rare occasions when commercial real estate was used to Fight the Power.

It's a bit hard to make out, but the photo to the left is of several PE signs that could be seen hanging from the windows of the Bank of America building on Saturday.

(One says "CAN"T TRUSS IT"; the other has PE's logo of a policeman in a rifle scope.)

Yeah Boy-eeeeee.

Any number of times over the past decade, I've heard people wonder aloud why there's never been a South By Southwest-type music festival here in the Triangle. Come this fall, there will be no reason to wonder that anymore. The Independent is putting on a massively ambitious little shindig called Hopscotch, with 120 local and national acts (including fabled Canadian collective Broken Social Scene and iconic rap group Public Enemy) playing in 10 downtown Raleigh venues over three nights in September.

For more details, see the story in Wednesday's paper. Tickets should go on sale this week.
