re: I don't get hip hop heads

Ignorance? I used to listen to rap then I grew up. There is a lot of good hip hop out there but I assumed he was talking about mainstream rap i.e. whoever fits the Lil Wayne/drake mold

Cripple Creek. A prerequisite amongst LC boogie Woogie Rock & Roll

Posted by genxtiger on 4/30/13 at 8:16 pm

A friend of mine posted this on facebook earlier. He was referencing Up on Cripple Creek by The Band.

It reminded me of a story I heard about the origin of the song. Supposedly Cripple Creek is what they used to call an area around south lake charles because Sheriff Ham Reid (allegedly) would tax cocaine smugglers to use his roadways. If he caught someone running coke who had not payed the tax he would beat them with his night stick, hence Cripple Creek.

I have read origin stories on the internets but there is no mention of this. Any old schooler from around the area who can validate this?

Too damn hot to camp anymore this year.

When we were on the Buffalo last year it was late june or early july and the day time temps were breaking records for that time of the year. It was hovering around 100 every day. At night it dropped to a solid 60-65. I just slept in my hammock with scrubs and a long sleeve t-shirt and felt amazing.

Was it last summer that Galactic was supposed to play? I remember being in town when they announced the summer shows and not one person mentioned Galactic. They couldn't shut up about Bret Michaels, bag of donuts, and the chee weez. God help them.

Multi-day canoe trip suggestions

Posted by genxtiger on 4/30/13 at 3:18 pm

Can any of you gents suggest a good river to spend a few days floating and camping on?

I went to the buffalo river last summer and wouldn't mind going back, but I am looking for new options. I want to bring my lab with me and I'm looking to drive up to 10-12 hours from BR/LC.

I'll come out and say it..... The reason that the music scene in LC sucks is because every time a band that was popular 10 years ago comes into town people go ballistic and act like they are getting treated to a once in a life time show.

Will avoid just to not have to deal with the idiots who will be there "raging"

Emancipator is a solid choice. In under grad I could get away with sound tribe at the most but nothing lyric driven. I'm in law school now and have to sit in silence. It sucks.

All of you assholes able to be at the fest today go check out the Lagniappe stage at 5:30 and support some home grown talent. There will be a lively crew of good people in the ground to entertain you along with the good musics.
