That is the weirdest festival lineup ever. A group of Mormon's from Vegas who are a decade past their last hit? Check. A right wing nutjob rabblerouser redneck who is a decade past his last hit? Check. A British tantric sex practitioner who is way more than a decade past his last hit? Check. A punch line of a southern rock group who haven't made a hit since the seventies? Roger that. A bad Nashville band who, as far as I know, have never had any hits? You betcha. Did Jerruh make this lineup himself by just looking at his 53 year old mistress' old iPod?
After those "headliners," it gets really weird, with a bunch of other nostalgia inducing artists with zero new music that I know of, but a heyday many moons ago. Counting Crows? Lauryn Hill? Bush? Alanis Morissette? The B-52s? Garbage? Ludacris? Rick freaking Springfield? Violent Femmes? I mean, what the hell is all of this? The English Beat? Collective Soul? This is soooooo weird.
Now, I'd go see some of those bands. Don't get me wrong, I'd do the B-52s immediately. I love old Counting Crows. Lauryn Hill is amazing. I've loved Sting since the 80's. But I've never seen a lineup quite like this. It looks like the calendar for a Louisiana casino, or like the answer to the trivia question of the bands that were two hit wonders. I do not want to attend this mess.
