I'm not dissing Brooks and Dunn. If we were to get some one of their caliber to play at Pershing Center in Lincoln, we'd be lucky and I wouldn't be pissed to work the show like I was the Big & Rich/ Gretchen Wilson show this weekend.
I'm just saying I am disappointed to see that we get stuck with a big time pop country act opening for the Stones in Nebraska, when they could have exposed the audience here to an act that hasn't played here often or ever before.
Though I probably would have been pissed to see Kanye West opening for U2 tonight if I had bought tickets rather than someone like The Arcade Fire who opened for Bono & Co. in Canada.
sorry dude, forgot you worked at an arena
Big and Rich/Gretchen Wilson could be kinda fun, though. I actually really dig the Save A Horse song and Gretch might be up for some weird shit----could be a wild night on the plains, man.
ANY mention of Gretchen Wilson belongs in that 2 Liter bottle of Pee thread. Talk about a girl that would want to be punched in the face, just so she could gum you better without teeth. YELCH!!
Oh, and I know its not cool to know things like this, but dudes like Brooks and Dunn, Clint Black and Garth Brooks (and many more, Travis Tritt, Alan Jackson) grew up whooping it up to shit like Skynyrd, The Allmans, and The Stones. And, I would bet that in a place like NEbraska, or even ATL,. the 2 demographics are quite similar: middle to upper middle class white people who like to get a sitter for the kids, maybe a 1/4 gram of blow and a bottle of tequilla, and whoop every once in a while. I know middle America is to be scorned, but I just don't see what's so outlandish about all of this.
