Ok, I mention to my classes today that MCA from Beastie Boys died. And I got silence. 3/4 or more of them had no idea who Beastie Boys are. How is that possible?

What are parents teaching their kids today?

In years with a very strong lineup I would get frustrated because I couldn't be in two places at the same time.

I've often felt this same frustration. Imagine my frustration this year.

Happy Friday everyone! Life is too short to get wound up enough to delete oneself. Sorry for those who left, the rest of us will trudge on. My kids know the Beastie Boys and all the classics too, they might not like them, but they know them. 76 days until the best 4 days of the year...aahh yeah!

But Ty, some days way back you WERE in two places at the same time

[The TyGuy]

Ahhhhh......those were the days!!!

We lost 100 pages from the Graffiti Page. Those must've been some talkative people!

Alright, alright

To be real honest I was hoping for one more big name but it is what it is. Yes Moondance is about the music but I can't wait to get on the hollowed grounds of Moondance and see all the peeps. I look forward to Moondance every year its kinda like christmas day when we were young children. It is sad that people were so angry they wanted themselves deleted. Like people have said before on this page one less person in front of me in the pit.

Yeah it is sad to lose people, never saw it like that before. But maybe now the magic can present itself without obstruction.

For me, it's about perspective. Maybe it's having lived in the vicinity of the Jam up here in the north woods my whole life, where not a whole lot goes on. In the early 90's, if someone told me there would be a music festival up here less than an hour from my house at a riding stable in the woods that would bring bands like ZZ Top, Def Leppard and KISS and tens of thousands of people to see them, I would've suggested they have their head checked. Like Field Of Dreams, "if you build it, they will come." What it's done for the area, the local economies, the hype and excitement, watching it grow. There's a very humble perspective and appreciation. I am partial to it, like a child. There's no 'drinking the Kool Aid' or being blind to the health of the lineup each year. Most years it's our straight-A honor student and a couple times it's been the red-headed stepchild, but a lot of us will still be here in full support, backing it's successes and rallying behind it 100%, selflessly, and keying on the positives because it's meant so much over the years.

Cheers!
