This is why you don't try to please people. Everyone clamors for a music festival, they throw one together and it's too country. Ignoring the fact ACL has taken decades to get where it is. They used country bands for this to make a smash success. It's easy to sell country tickets and every whiner on this board will wind up going. Why? Because the first one has to be a massive success to guarantee a second one. The easiest way to do that was to get country artists. They called it okcfest to broaden it in the future but the first few have to be a success. So stop complaining and help build it instead of tearing it down because you're a spoiled brat who didn't get exactly what you want.

I don't even like country but I can see what this could grow into. So I'm going to support it have a beer and have some fun. Supporting something because you can see the potential should be something all the self proclaimed urbanists should be able to do easily.
