This forum is for talking about non-music-related stuff that the DBT fanbase might be interested in. This is not the place for inside jokes and BS. Take that crap to some other board.
Well, my beloved Sanford Stadium, home of my University of Georgia Bulldawgs in our Athens, has decided to play host to the two headed cheese monster of "country" music; Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean.
This is the first time a concert has ever been played in Sanford Stadium and it's going to be these two.
So for a first concert, it could have any number of great bands. Widespread Panic could easily fill the 92,000 + seat stdium. R.E.M. certainly could have when they were together.
But no.
And there are tons of folks from right around here who are talking about how great it is. A bunch of them are going up there tonight and some left yesterday.
They are acting the way I feel when I'm headed up there to see the Truckers except, they're going to hear really bad music.
I know it will create a bunch of revenue for Athens and the school, but...I wish it was somebody else.

I'm with you that it was a festival of crap. But nothing particularly redneck about it. Most of the poeple that I know who were all excited about it are what I call Southern yuppies. The guys drive brand new pick ups but would die before they let them get them dirty and their back windows are nearly completely filled with stickers advertising, Yeti coolers (no redneck has the money or is foolish enough to drop $400.00 on a cooler. especially since it's gonna probably be in the backof his truck taking a beating during a work day.), Costa Del Mar sunglasses, (again. no redneck is gonna spend or can spend hundreds of dollars on a pair of sunglasses. I personally would be too worried about them falling off or me dropping them in the pond while I was fishing.), or Salt Life fishing apparrel(not too many of us have the money to go on big expensive salt water fishing trips and if we can get one up, we'll just wear regular clothes rather than special, expensive fishing gear).

Hey errbody!
Greg McGarity (athletic director) said that they would have more concerts there in the future. If we could use better judgement about who plays I would be all for it.
I'm not even sure who Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean are, but then again I don't know a thing about contemporary country music...well, I know who Taylor Swift is lol.
Turn you demons into walls of goddamned noise and sound.
Keep posting these because I love them lol!! I love country music I like Luke Bryan, but Jason Aldean is craptastic I understand why UGA did it though. Both claim to be from GA. Still I'd rather see WSP.

In my misty eyed view of the south, pickup truck rear windows should be filled with confederate flags, gun racks and/or hound dogs, or all three. Source: I watch a lot of TV.
I am with TC though I had never heard of these chumps. those gifs are disturbing.
I've never taken a pissbreak during a DBT show but if I had it would have been during Dancing Ricky.
