    • Murfreesboro, TN
    • Elizabethtown, KY (Rukus would open)

    Gotta disagree with you, PBM.

    I live in Tallahassee and can say with complete objectivity that Valdosta is not a town we want Pearl Jam to play.

    To keep it in the same region, I wouldn't mind seeing them play Gainesville, FL or Savannah, GA.

    Too bad TLH doesn't have a decent venue for PJ to play in.

    The Tucker Center has terrible acoustics and this is SUCH a bad city for rock concerts.

    It was tongue in cheek. ;)

    I've been through Valdosta once on my way to Florida...that's the only reason I know it. :)

    Only if they play Del Bocha Vista. I'm on the verge of concert-retirement.

    Maybe we should print out all 1,521 posts and present them to the guys at The Gorge. I'd have a hard time fitting all that paper into my little carry bag though. Maybe someone who lives closer than I do could do it. We could ty a big fat spliv ontop with a bow.....

    i'll say again:

    Just try. Try to name a part of the country -- or the world, for that matter --that's done more for music in the last 150 years than these Southern United States.

    We birthed the blues. We launched rock 'n' roll. We've been the seat of gospel, the bastion of bluegrass, the home to the world's hottest hip-hop. We've dug deep down to our Nappy Roots, fostered Stephen Foster, screamed "Sweet Home Alabama" and gotten straight-up Ludacris, from Memphis to Mobile to Uncle Tupelo.

    Southern music encompasses all kinds of styles, yet it hangs together as a coherent genre. Nobody's ever heard of New England music or Midwestern music, but down here we know that rock can have soul and rap can be country, and even wimpy folk can count so long as it's got Carolina in its mind. Southern music's more of a sensibility than a sound.

    The South is about big ideas (like pain and redemption) and small pleasures (like the look of grandma's hands). The South is also increasingly diverse -- racially, economically and politically.

    If our music has a common thread, it's the thread of hope -- hope that this mystical land won't lose all that's made it special and that it's not too proud to admit when it's wrong. Those are some big challenges. But they're nothing the music can't handle.

    So, c'mon fellas let's get ya down here early 2007-it ain't the growin season, but we'll feed you real good. Take care PJ nation-goodnight and peace.
    “It’s the idea that people living close to nature tend to be noble. It’s seeing all those sunsets that does it. You can’t watch a sunset and then go off and set fire to your neighbor’s tepee. Living close to nature is wonderful for your mental health.”
