Thanks Sean, that is exactly the point I was trying to make earlier.
We do not have all the facts, maybe Carol Marvin is right, maybe she is
trying to jack the festival. We do not really know yet, do we?

okay. Ive been trying to stay out of it, but this comment has drawn me in.
you shouldnt just accept what you read or are spoon fed by the media as
truth. theres *always* more to a story than what youre told in the paper.
I'm contantly reading the paper with a smirk or scepticism. I always read
stories wondering about what it is they're *not* telling us. this is one of
those cases. yes there was some behind the scenes stuff going on which was
touched upon in the article (way more than you can imagine!)
Rememeber this :History is written by the victors. He who controls the
information controls the power. In America we have what is called "The
American Revolution" in our history books. I'd bet in the British history
books it's called "The Colonial Riots" or "The Colonialist Uprising".

From The Detroit Free Press:
"Several of Detroit's pioneering techno musicians met with Craig in April
at the office of Derrick May, the Detroit DJ scheduled to play the
festival's
closing set. They included May, Stacey Pullen and Kevin Saunderson, who
asked Craig to include more Detroit artists on the bill."
"'We let him know that we are one, and he has our support, but we just
want Detroit to be recognized at the festival," said May. "Everybody's
coming here to be down with the source -- not the people who imitate the
source.'"

Not to say I told you so, but as I recall when I was commenting on this
list
about the lineup a few weeks ago, saying I didn't feel it was extremely
representative of Detroit talent, I feel I was getting hated on a little.
Matter
of fact, noone really wanted to touch that topic that much at all, which is
one that I felt was certainly worth discussing on a 313 list. It's almost
as
if
people didn't want to dare question the holy DEMF and Carl Craig. But
now here it is, from the mouth of the prodigal son of techno himself, Mr.
Derrick May. And it seems that Carl Craig is on the out and out with this
festival anyway. What do y'all think now?
