tom,
...a little late to this topic but I must say
I live in Detroit, I know for a fact that there are a lot of "soulful" acts
that have NOT been asked.
With that being said, the rep of those giving the fest is not really
appealing
to alot of the locals artists anyway. Maybe this is why there are not more
blacks, I mean
"soulful" acts headlining. There are those who come to the defense of the
fest throwers who do not reside within the "D." And they do not see the
barrier that has been created between the "soulful" and "soul less."
Think of the transformation of the fest as being the beginnning of Elvis.
Peace,
M

On the other hand, some artists -- Like Tortoise, and Fat Freddy's
Drop -- were in the Festival line-up because Carl Craig or Derrick May
liked their music. Equally valid IMHO
i would guess that fat freddy's drop's inclusion also had something to
do with the fact that recloose had already been working with the
singer (dust was on CDr since like 02 or so? i remember it being
listed in someone's top 10 in Straight No Chaser magazine.....) and
was playing the same year. as for Tortoise, im not sure if there are
any other loose connections or not......
