Clipped from the freep article here: http://www.freep.com/entertainment/music/demf13_20020413.htm >>> The inadvertent bill, while accurately listing most of the scheduled acts, also mistakenly featured such in-demand names as DJ Shadow, Black Eyed Peas and Drexciya. That lineup was removed by midafternoon. Pop Culture spokesman Greg Bowens said he couldn't deny that the festival may be pursuing some of the artists accidentally listed. A handful of open time slots remain. Still, "what may have been on a wish list yesterday is not necessarily the case today," Bowens said. <<< I'm not complaining, but I can't help but feel we were toyed with a bit when Rob Hood and some of the other names were waived under our noses.
