Slightly Disappointed in the Talent . . .

So last night was the first night at Riverside Jam 2008.

The music was awesome, all of it. It was so cool to hear Ambush talk about how they've won awards for their music and video. They're still a great party band.

Yummy looking paddlers for the olympic team Canada were presented on stage.

Rain fell, then fell some more, then really fell, then fell.

Interviewed one performer after his show, before the rain really fell. Was totally let down. His handlers were a little full of self-importance, and the entertainer was quite bewildered. The Mrs. hovered nearby. I asked one question:

So, what's the funniest thing that's ever happened to you while you were on tour, on stage, on the road, during your career, what?

He had nothing. Two minutes of awkward silence while I tried to get him to answer any other question. Nothing.

Kind of boring.

I won't name him because I LOVED his music. But apparently, this man's life is so ordered that nothing ever happens to him that's out of the ordinary.

A little sad, don'tcha think?

Tonight - Lorrie Morgan!

While the rain falls.

More details to come, of course.

Why?

Because. . . pointless stories are my thing.
