Since we are on the topic of Victoria Williams, I have a hard time not being biased against her because she was a total bag at the Calgary Folk Fest a few years ago. My friends were volunteers, and they still tell their Victoria Williams "War stories" as they call it. Apparently, she threw hissy-fit after hissy-fit: the hotel room faced the wrong way, the room was too hot/too cold, not clean enough, etc. I think they moved her three times or something. Then, her fruit basket wasn't right or something and she threw a fit, and she was rude and talked down to everyone. Then, she got all cranky and told her manager or whatever to carry her to her room (I know, she's got MS, but still... carry her?). Anyway, she had put the fear of God into all of the workers, and they kept playing practical jokes on each other all weekend by saying "um, Victoria is complaining about the fruit again and she wants you to come up and get it" and then they'd get all scared until they realized it was a joke. It's just so weird because she seems like such a calm, happy person, but I guess she's infamous with the Calgary Folk Fest crowd as someone to avoid having back.
