Wow - look at this from the article
As the party moves to the Roostertail for a night of thumping techno, the
mayor's crew chuckles about Marvin's
attempt to keep the festival. Kilpatrick's chief administrative officer,
Derrick Miller, says Hearns, though a
great guy, suggested the DEMF needs some classic R&B acts.
Classic R&B acts? I know this festival is suppose to be about the music of
Detroit but if you're going to open it up to classic R&B then why not have
some rock & roll like The Dirtbombs and White Stripes fer chris'sake. Why
we're at it let's add some big band jazz, country music, blues, and
classical music.

Metrotimes also has an article about this:
http://www.metrotimes.com/editorial/story.asp?id=4518
A spokesman of Kilpatrick says:
"If necessary, Dickens says, the name will change to the Detroit
International Electronic Music Festival, or some such variation."
and the DEMF is just a name indeed. I wondered how we would think of this
if
PCM got the festival and Derrick May said he was doing a 3 day party to
because he thinks he must do the festival.......... just a thought
