don't believe everything you hear... (rant begin) ask yourself this: -do you think carl craig was lazy and didn't bother trying to get contracts from the *few* artists that he could not get in contact with? -do you think last year *all* of the artists' contracts were given to the city in a timely manner? -what if carl did do his job, but other people did not in order to make him look bad and have an excuse to get rid of him and turn the festival into an entirely corporate event? -and how easy would it be for them to do this? -and how much would they profit from doing this? -and would this make it easier to have a lineup with more names like oakenfold, daft punk, chemical bros (acts that will bring in $$$), and less locals and up-and-coming artists that need exposure? -and doesn't it seem funny that last year they were happy to have carl heavily involved in the festival (which gave credibility to the event), but now something like paperwork is enough to get rid of him?
this has nothing to do with artist contracts or carl's competency or work ethic. it has to do with a corporation tarnishing a man's reputation in order to have total control over an event that will make them money. and that is what's going on. period.
