Re: (313) Mos Def added to Fuse-in line-up
Well isn't that the problem with every book turned into a movie? It just works for short stories like Shawshank Redemption and 12 Monkeys i think. Especially in books like the H2G2 series were there is a joke after every 3 sentences. The script was co-written by Douglas Adams, he worked on it before he died, but i am gonna watch it this weekend se then i'll know what to think of it :) KJ the paranoid technotourist On 4-mei-2005, at 15:05, Odeluga, Ken wrote: I've yet to hear anyone say a kind word about that film.

-Original Message- From: diana potts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] interesting, i _heard_ mos def isn't cheap to get, he oddly fits in with the rest of the line up. I think His addition is exactly what this festival needs. I think He'll draw a considerable amount of the Cities hip-hop fans that, otherwise, wouldn't attend this year, due to the admission fee. Hip-Hop fans don't pay admission fees to see John Tejada. I hope this helps makes up for the lack of attendance due to the cover charge.
RE: (313) Mos Def added to Fuse-in line-up
-Original Message- From: diana potts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] if anyone doesnt go down b/c of FIVE dollars for -all- day- i hope they stay home. I think you're missing the point. I'm referring to an entirely different demographic. Thousands of people have attended the festival in the past, due to the fact that it was free. It was something new to check out, for free. They may not be fans of electronic music. But they came to check it out, just for the sake of it. In case you're not aware, hip-hop is the music of choice for most of Detroit's inner city population. Mos Def will attract these people in a way that non hip-hop artists won't. I wouldn't pay $5 to attend a show that was strictly hip-hop, but if you threw a couple of my favorite electronic artists on the bill (big names at that) I'd probably go check it out.
