Well it's pretty obvious that Kwame's problems go way beyond thinking
Given that a) the City of Detroit can't or won't support the festival
in terms of paying for insurance and crowd control and b) in order to
survive, the festival needs to at least break even, maybe it's the
better part of valor to give Paxahau a little latitude on booking.
Since it isn't the

I think everyone wanted Kwame to be a great mayor for Detroit. Sadly
it was not to be. I don't care where he dips his wick -- that's his
own business. But there are plenty of ways he's loused up the
business of the City as well.
And I don't know all the facts of the case, either. But one thing

From what I know, certain people in Detroit with influence already
expressed their views (ie take a break this year and plan carefully)
and Paxahau chose to go on. These people are still supportive of
Paxahau, which is great.
In turn, I just feel we should now be at least be supportive of

I think it's important to discuss both the likes and dislikes
if you only discuss what you like then the things you don't get swept under
the carpet and they'll think well, nobody complained
Interesting that Paxahau isn't listening to these people with influence
Is their sense of independence

Yeah, but they live there, which means they can give support by simply
I agree with Mike and Tom.
Perhaps someone could tell me: How does the festival in it's current
incarnation reflect/celebrate the city and culture it is/was supposed
to represent?
If the current idea is just to fill up the place, then these bookings
make plenty of sense. If they are actually
Actually, and technically, I don't think it is DEMF
afaik Carol Marvin owns DEMF
what Paxahau is doing is Movement
I've come to the conclusion that, although they both have taken place in
the same place and the same annual dates, the festivals are two different
things with two almost entirely
I can't help but compare this thread to discussions I've heard about
the evolution of the Winter Music Conference.. over the years the
conference has evolved completely into a festival of mass proportions.
Or even comparing it to the debate I used to hear over and over again
about Vinyl vs CD,

k A gentleman doesn't kiss and
tell. Hauling someone up on perjury charges for trying to keep a
private matter private is BS -- it's the same as Clinton's
impeachment.
Gentlemen usually don't fire those who investigate them (ruining
careers) and help waste 9 million badly needed city
Well it's pretty obvious that Kwame's problems go way beyond thinking
with his dick. I never meant to justify all the other crap he's
allegedly pulled.
I was trying to make a pretty specific small point, not justify a
whole range of high crimes and misdemeanors, either in Clinton or
Kilpatrick's
