Well it would be a perfect fit. The place full of people overpaying to watch a less than mediocre product, just like on game days :lol:

yep, but the agreement allows one weekend of concerts every other year, so unless they change that, they can't throw too much else in.

the particular weekend they are looking at for DMB has a big festival in the general area and they want to build on that.

this also stops any of those rumors that Buffett would be back there again next year.

duuuude.. calling the Cubs less than mediocre is really a compliment... he could have said "overpaying to watch a really crappy act take the field.." :D

Only good thing about that it allows one more concert (hopefully a good country show) to replace that thing that they call "music".

Honstely I still do not know how DMB is still around. Saw him perform at Farm Aid 97 and still want my hour back of time that I wasted having to hear him "perform"

Maybe this is his way of making up for his tour bus dumping that load of $hit into the Chicago River a year or so ago.

Wouldnt it be more appropriate to make them stay away, havent they done enought bad things without making people listen to bad music too??? Actually it dumped onto a tour boat first. A few people even got some in their mouths [smilie=puker.gif] big settlement for all involved!!

I was wondering what position he might play. I know Jimmy has some baseball experience, didn't know Dave did too....of course it's not something I'd know....or look into...are my feelings showing?

I like DMB when I'm studying or wanting some chill music in the background, but I wouldn't listen to it while working out or driving down the road, nor would I pay more than $20 for a ticket to a show, nor would I drive more than an hour to get to a show. That being said, I think I'm the only person I know that doesn't smoke pot or do acid that can tolerate DMB. He seems to be the stereotypical druggy performer, kinda like Phish and Widespread Panic have that bond with potheads (in many cases, at least).

Then again, people say the same about JB and pot/beer, so there it is. ;)
