ANOTHER YEAR IN NORTH ADAMS - Close to 6,000 music- and arts-crazed enthusiasts from the four corners spent their weekend in the bucolic splendor of the museum-culture and slow pace of North Adams, MA. It was two days of celebration and tranquility curated by WILCO and friends. The Arts, Music & Culture on the menu were impressive. What we didn't expect - and perhaps we should have - was the pounding June rain which dampened the ground intermittently but didn't end the festivities... Concertgoers were driven inside the museum where they took in art until the rain surrendered once again to good times. Children danced, parents mouthed the words, couples kissed and the audience swayed to the songs...
Genre-Crasher Jamie Lidell made audiences move!

This gets handled real quick, that way.
Secondly - and I really shouldn't have to qualify my own feelings about the shows I see on my own blog, but I will - it's my opinion. And it can't be wrong because it is mine. SEVERAL people I spoke to felt the same.
