ART AND ROCK N ROLL

Hi

I read an article this
morning about an art show in Miami and the beginning of the
article made me think about all of the great art associated with
rock and music.  Album covers, concert posters, the
photography work of people like Linda Eastman McCartney and
thousands of others.

Think about it  and
lets talk : )

  WOW Janese

That is quite a line up.  Those are more artists than the World Series of Rock shows I used to go to.

I remember posting in here somewhere recently about an article that talked about how these big shows were doing great and wew a thing of the future.  The problems with billing and credits for some of the top stars might be a problem but that line up you listed had some great big names in there.  Hmmm  you have me thinking.

Cleveland does have shows and tours; no doubt about that but not that size.

Can you buy a pass for a certain number or each individually or how?

Diane

Hi Diane,

There are several ways to get in.  You can buy 3 day passes.  Some days you can get in free during certain hours if you bring food, or other requested items.  The Summerfest ticket gets you on the grounds where there are 10 different stages and lots of food vendors and outdoor markets.  You have to buy a separate ticket for the Marcus Amphitheater which is the main acts like Stevie Wonder, John Mellencamp, etc.  Some main stage acts have free stamps for lawn seating on the day of the show.  You can see the pictures of the amphitheater and the Summerfest entrance on my profile page and you can check out everything about Summerfest by going to www.summerfest.com.

  Hi Janese and thanks for the link.  I will check it out.

My sister and her husband were talking about going to the Jamboree in the Hills in West Virginia this year  which from what I gathered is 3 or 4 days of performances and a pretty big line up and she told me that tickets for the whole thing were around $200  which is not bad if you like most of the line up and you feel like doing the whole show and being outdoors in the sun a lot of the time.

Hi Diane,

So are you considering going to the Jamboree or not?  Sounds like fun but like you said it's okay if you like the lineup.  The thing about Summerfest is it gets very crowded.  Sometimes it's hard to see the band because everyone is pushing to get up front.  We were lucky with Eric Burdon.  We only sat up front for an hour before the concert.  At the amphitheater which is a separate ticket you get reserved seating which is what I prefer.

  Well apparently the others think that with tickets sold out...  it will be too expensive and crowded and so I don't think so.  i told them that they will have to think about it earlier next year and look at the line up and see if it is worth it to them.   They didn't really do a good job of checking it out.

If it is something I really want to see, I always get the tickets right away so that doesn't happen.  But who know.  I am easy going.  If they decide to go I will go with.  But I am with you on the reserved seating : )

Hi D.,

Well, if you ever want to come to Milwaukee during Summerfest you could stay here and we could go together.  It's always the last Thursday in June until the following Sunday.  11 days.  We could even get tickets to a good show at the amphitheater with reserved seating.  I'd love to go with you.  My best friend Barb doesn't know how to rock.  She went with me to Bon Jovi and just sat there.  I need someone who rocks to go with me.  My friend Kelly who is 20 yrs. younger went with me to Tesla, Poison and Cheap Trick.  Those were some of the best concerts.  We also went to Toby Keith together.  She knows how to rock but usually isn't too reliable and has stood me up on occasion.

  Hi Janese

Well thank you ever so much for that great idea.  That would really be a fun time : ) and you know that does not seem out of the question at all.

I am going to put that aside to think about.  Thanks Janese.

Hi Diane,

You do that.  Next year I'll be going on 60 so it would be great to celebrate the end of another decade with you.

  Hey Janese

I think a whole bunch of our favorite artists will fit right into that very same age bucket too : )   All I can say is..........."Long Live Rock n Roll and the one's that love it"  : )

Hi Diane,

Yes, they will be in the same age group and hopefully still playing and we can all rock together.  "I Know It's Only Rock 'N Roll but I Like It".... yes, I do!
