Ok, What's the Deal Country Don?

Mr. Smiley:

I'm not a country music hater. I love the classic artists like George Strait. With that being said, you are starting to worry me. You booked three nights of country music for the Marcus Amphitheater.

We all have our opinions about who you should book for Summerfest. Let's be honest and say that other "festivals" have stronger line ups depending on the year. Bumbershoot comes to mind. Seattle is a larger city, with a rich history of cutting edge music. Some years, I will see their lineup and wonder why these bands cannot make it to Milwaukee. Perhaps its more about the art in Seattle, and less about beer sales.

For now, I will chalk it up to your desire to see lots of cowboy hats on the Summerfest grounds.

Sincerely,
The biggest Summerfest fan in Wisconsin

What is up with summerfest this year. I know that a lot of white folks live in Wisconsin and they love their country, but another sound besides a twang and toothless man breathing would be nice to hear let alone see. I may have to skip this years summerfest, however, this may be my final year so i will at least go for the beer.
