Wow! That Fergie's somethin' else! First she marries one of QEII's sons, then next thing you hear, she's the spokesperson for Weight Watcher's, now this! I am impressed! ;) :D !

this is way better than jazzfest.

Went to Memphis last year. Will never return. They need to go to NO to find out just how to put on a music festival.

Cannot even bring in folding chairs. Standing all day to hear music sucks.

I'd happily sit on the ground for that line up!

Makes it perfect for all the "no chairs" folks, then. ;)
