Once again, a festival that mixes the good with the bad and totally inflating the value of the ticket price.

The only way this would be worth it is if MMJ played a late night set under the night time desert sky and the sheer force of the music incapacitated Ms. Spears.

On the flip side, I could totally justify tix for this by telling my girlfriend she could see that trampslut.

el_chode · Jan 13, 2009, 09:13 AM

Oh, and imagine a Neil/MMJ collab? I nominate Cowgirl in the Sand.

bold99 · Jan 13, 2009, 09:21 AM

Its funny that the White Stripes are rumored considering that they are not even playing now. Lol.

i agree--isn't it hard to pretend to sing at an outdoor festival? no way superfly would EVER let her play Bonnaroo thank god. it definitely wouldn't be the Which or What stage..it would be the WTF!! STAGE lol

Sadly, i could see the day. I remember after '06 the rumor was that MTV would be a partner with a likely Black Eyed Peas headline. That was some scary shit.

Perry Farrell said in an intervew a while back that the festivals are starting to miss the point of the festival and they're turning into marketing ploys. Real festivals can be hard core things for hardcore fans, and the labels are missing the forest for the trees.

Plus, on a more obvious note, certain acts draw certain crowds, which I think can be the most dissuading factor for me. Either way, I consider MMJ playing any festival enough reason to go if I can scrounge up the cash.

I'm sorry but did you say the Replacements?!?!?!

God is good.

Sassbox · Jan 13, 2009, 12:46 PM

I would skip the second weekend of JazzFest if the Replacements are confirmed.

ms. yvon · Jan 13, 2009, 01:41 PM

penny: the WTF? stage: BRILLIANT!! ;D ;D

Second weekend still has that TBA and a Fest Board member told me who they are trying to get...I'll be at Jazz Fest. 8-)

NAH AH. WHA?!?

rags0426 · Jan 13, 2009, 04:23 PM

I like me some Sassbox!

Paul Westerberg is the love of my life (sorry Jim?!) - and I get weepy with the idea of the 'Mats back together.

Sassbox · Jan 13, 2009, 04:33 PM

Gah, I can't even tell you how many times I saw The Replacements in the 80s. It's all one big, happy blur. And I would seriously consider skipping the second weekend of JazzFest to see them...except if Nova's intimating what I think she's intimating with that winkety-wink sunglass emoticon...

rags0426 · Jan 13, 2009, 04:44 PM

I can see the dilemma - but I just couldn't live without seeing them (paul and the boys) one more time. I think Jim and MMJ might understand.

;D I di-INT. :)

...it's not MMJ, though I did send an email to Superfly today suggesting that they bring the boys down to play in the slot that Gov't Mule does. Warren Haynes will be on tour with the Dead, so no Mule shows this year.

manicfanatic · Jan 13, 2009, 06:49 PM

Seeing the Mats again would be incredible. I do hope the inclusion of Britney Spears in that list is someones idea of a joke. And how many years now have they said the Smiths would reunite for it?? I doubt it will happen.

Ghosts_on_TV · Jan 14, 2009, 02:34 PM

THe Smiths will not get back together. Ever.
