can this be true? is that really their summer concert lineup? is there ANYONE in that roster that i have any interest in seeing, let alone spending money on? yes, i would go to the ABB/ratdog/keller show, but take a look at the date. that means i would have to wait until august to see a show. thats pathetic. either my taste in music is so far out of the mainstream that i can't appreciate these acts or the lineup is so ungodly awful that no one, in their right mind, would see any of these concerts. its one or the other, there is no middle ground. god help us.

When I read about the former World Amphitheater (now something idiodically corporately re-renamed) in Tinley Park, Illinois being for sale, the story mentioned that lately (past few years I guess) the summer music business at America's summertime sheds has been in decline. Once it was booming, I gather. I had no idea about either situation and still don't know why summer concert series are on the decline but apparently they are and this decline would explain why the shed there on the Delaware doesn't have a strong summer lineup that makes one drool at all the great choices. Oh well.

Hope ya get to enjoy Ratdog, though!
