Why not make a premier C&W festival? I don't like modern country music, but I have no problem with OKC hosting a giant C&W music festival. I don't give a hoot about Quarter Horses, but I am not all bent out of shape about the AQHA show every year. Money is money, right?

It is finding a niche. Can we go head to head with ACL/SXSW? Hell no. But can we go head to head with other Country festivals (whichever those happen to be...I can't think of any myself)? Hell yes we can!

Is country fans' money no good? Is there something wrong with their money that we don't want it? Is OKC going to be the starving artist of metro areas, forgoing any income in order to preserve our indignant self-regard?

Seriously people, chill out.
