My Rocklahoma Home

Next weekend every hair band of the 80's (RHINO BUCKET!) will infest Pryor Oklahoma for a 4 day music festival called Rocklahoma. Had something like this taken place in 1987 it would have been a major happening. Now it makes me wonder whether or not the promoter has lost his mind. A show with hair bands...in Oklahoma...in the year 2007? I'm curious as to what kind of guarantee the bands have received. I've not seen anything concrete in regard to advance sales which makes me wonder how sound an investment this was on behalf of the promoter. Message boards have spread rumor that a pay per view broadcast or VH1 Classic special will be shot but I'm doubtful of that being the case. With a handful of exceptions the lineup at Rocklahoma (which can be found here:http://www.rockfeverfest.com/artists.php) with a handful of exceptions (Poison, Queensryche)would have a hard time filling a club with 100 people. Still, I enjoy a good train wreck and this could be a dandy. If nothing else, it beats discussing the Summer of Love.

I haven't been able to find a Nintendo Wii, the PS3 is too expensive and the Xbox 360 sucks. It sucks to the tune of $1 billion in repairs:http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/06/business/06soft.html?_r=1&adxnnl=1&oref=slogin&adxnnlx=1183730462-r/dxqyPN8PIHOpi6F7SjkA

Avril also sucks. And she's a (alleged) thief:http://dispatch.com/dispatch/content/life/stories/2007/07/06/girlfriend.html
