Merle Haggard should"ve been on the mane stage instead of Williams Riley or who ever it was that took his spot I'd much rather of seen Merle.

Hell ya!! Never seen Phil Vassar and Billy Currington live until then. Got sick of the kareoke crap and walked over to the real deal.

What has happened... Merle should defenitely been on the Main Stage... Kinda weird... But I guess you can't put everyone there...

I posted this in another thread, but I think it is more appropriate here:


If I were Merle, I think I would have preferred to be where he ended up.

It's better to be the king of what was going on with the side stage than to be remembered as the "low energy act" in the company of artists that put on productions that aren't necessarily based on music as much.

I'm not saying that production heavy stage theatrics are bad. I'm just saying they are different. For example, I'm not too into Lady Gaga, Beyonce, or Pink in terms of music but I would love to see them live because of the theatrics of their shows. I think Kris Kristofferson is probably the greatest living songwriter America has, but he would look boring between a set by Gaga and Beyonce.

In terms of impact on the face of music in America, Merle Haggard could stroll onstage and cut a juicy fart into the microphone and contribute more than all four headliners combined. But I'm sure the crowd much preferred what ended up happening.

I stand corrected ... Great point... =)
