Looked at the lineup today and holy shite it's bad. Seems like they never have anyone worth a shite now.

I remember as a kid, they'd have big names that played there on a huge stage with big crowds.

I know there are people here who are "in the know". What the hell happened?

I remember seeing DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince and New Kids on the Block back '86 or so. Last time I've been to that chithole.

I'm surprised the queen of NOLA area festivals, Amanda Shaw, isn't performing.

I saw Cheap Trick and Joan Jett at the state fair. This was probably around '84/'85...

Kyper must be busy.
John Fred passed away many years ago.


However, it is football season -- and I hear Allison Collins has a nice, catchy new song about the local professional football team.

Maybe she can inject some life into the live GBRSF shows -- as long as her mysterious, random boxer dude comes along with her.

I'm just hoping she hasn't had a falling out with the "The More You Know" star.
