You're The Host - How Will You Entertain Us?

If you had your own music festival, what five bands or musicians would play?

Broadway all the way, baby - Michael Crawford, Mandy Patinkin, maybe Michael Ball, Julie Andrews (if we can go back in time before her surgery ), and um, hmmm.. Kristin Chenowith, I guess? No! Bernadette Peters. Yeah, Bernadette.

Well, first I would go to Melanie's festival.

Then:

10,000 Maniacs, Barenaked Ladies, Helen Reddy, Billy Joel, Squirrel Nut Zippers

Hey, my very first quiz was on Broadway. Okay, not these artists, but on Broadway!

If you were all in my house, the only song I'd be playing is "Hit the road, Jack."

Re You're The Host - How Will You Entertain Us?

Five? You're limited to five? Festivals have lots more than 5. I want 10.

And, 'lass, I hate to break it to you, but um, some of your artists are a little inactive. But BNL are awesome live.

Have to think on this 5 thing. Can I have different festivals -- you know, like a jazz festival, a pop festival, an alternative festival, a country festival, etc.? Mind you, I have absolutely no intention of writing quizzes about any of those acts, but planning the festival would be fun. Planning the city would be the key. Newport and Nashville and Detroit and NY and LA are obvious choices. The fun would be in picking a city like Vancouver for the alt festival

Your old music cannot sustain you through a life, not if you're someone who listens to music every day, at every opportunity. You need input, because pop music is about freshness, about Nelly Furtado and the maddeningly memorable fourth track on a first album by a band you saw on a late-night TV show. And no, that fourth track is not as good as anything on Pet Sounds or Blonde on Blonde or What's Going On, but when was the last time you played Pet Sounds? - Songbook by Nick Hornby

My Five?

Rolling Stones (I'm not a huge fan, but I figure if they can sell out Omaha at $352/ticket, which they will on Saturday , I can make a pretty good turn on investment. Besides, they ARE rock and roll.)
Johnny Cash
BNL
Garth Brooks (great showman)
Billy Joel/Elton John (I know that's probably cheating, but they have played the same venue )

And each one gets a 4 hour set.

Johnny's set should be a rather quiet 4 hours, Lynn.

Re You're The Host - How Will You Entertain Us?

I was going under the premise that it would be anyone alive OR dead. Wouldn't you love to hear JOhnny?

And as far as The Eagles, I want a private concert. :leer:

I actually DID hear Johnny in concert. When I was about 13 or 14 years old.

David Bowie, Lucinda Williams, The Suicide Commandos, Reverend Horton Heat, and Robert Earl Keen. Not necessarily in that order.

Re You're The Host - How Will You Entertain Us?

Okay, I'm going to Melanie's (but sleeping through Michael Ball). I want front-row seats for Bridgette's. I think I'll like Erik's although I'm not at all familiar with Robert Earl Keen (but have seen the Reverend more than once).

Mine:

Jane's Addiction. Tori Amos. Old 97s. They Might Be Giants. Kelly Hogan/The Jody Grind

I've seen all but the Old 97s already.
