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 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------------------------------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER De gemeente Almelo aanvaardt voor haar medewerkers geen enkele aansprakelijkheid voor eventueel onjuist, onrechtmatig of ontoelaatbaar geacht gebruik van e-mail (inclusief bijlagen).
