okay. Ive been trying to stay out of it, but this comment has drawn me in. you shouldnt just accept what you read or are spoon fed by the media as truth. theres *always* more to a story than what youre told in the paper. I'm contantly reading the paper with a smirk or scepticism. I always read stories wondering about what it is they're *not* telling us. this is one of those cases. yes there was some behind the scenes stuff going on which was touched upon in the article (way more than you can imagine!) Rememeber this :History is written by the victors. He who controls the information controls the power. In America we have what is called "The American Revolution" in our history books. I'd bet in the British history books it's called "The Colonial Riots" or "The Colonialist Uprising".

They included May, Stacey Pullen and Kevin Saunderson, who asked Craig to include more Detroit artists on the bill." "'We let him know that we are one, and he has our support, but we just want Detroit to be recognized at the festival," said May. "Everybody's coming here to be down with the source -- not the people who imitate the source.'" /// Not to say I told you so, but as I recall when I was commenting on this list about the lineup a few weeks ago, saying I didn't feel it was extremely representative of Detroit talent, I feel I was getting hated on a little. Matter of fact, noone really wanted to touch that topic that much at all, which is one that I felt was certainly worth discussing on a 313 list. It's almost as if people didn't want to dare question the holy DEMF and Carl Craig. But now here it is, from the mouth of the prodigal son of techno himself, Mr. Derrick May. And it seems that Carl Craig is on the out and out with this festival anyway. What do y'all think now? --------------------------------------------- This message was sent via the Ulsternet webmail system. http://www.ulster.net --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
