    I agree that there's nothing jazz about the Jazz Fest, but I'm most concerned about the fact that Bon Jovi is going to be there *shudders*

    Plus, I don't think true jazz artists on this bill would make for a successful event, financially speaking. It's all about competition. Coachella was/is supposed to be about lo-fi indie rock bands and electronica/dance artists. But Paul McCartney is topping this year's bill.

    The only 'true-to-its-name' festival out there is San Francisco's Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival. They named it appropriately.
