Dave Grohl?

My reasons:

- Nirvana cancelled Lollapalooza because the ran out of lead singers
- Occasional drummer for Queens of the Stone Age

Nice try.

My guess was Billy Corgan, although I knew he wasn't from Evanston, he was in and out of the Chicago area around that time and did grew up in Il. But that doesn't look to be right.

Avril Lavigne?

She is my favorite fake punk-rocker!

Jesse Garon Presley... cryogenically frozen and shipped off to the Windy City where he was stored in a restaurant meat freezer, until being thawed, and bussed several miles up the lake as an adolescent.

It was my first guess, too.
