WAG - One Night Only!
In some cases, facts merely need to be reported to be funny.
It seems that on the heels of Dick Cheney, Mizzou is welcoming “Lyle Lovett and His Large Band.”
[It’s not a BIG band, but it still is of mentionable size].
Anyway, he is to be performing at “the Amphitheater” at MU on July 19.
Not only is he showing up during Columbia’s “off-season,” but they wouldn’t even give him a decent venue. Lyle’s stuck with “the Amphitheater,” which is the shallow field between Farrot Stadium and the parking lot.
A small stage is squeezed in, and unless one pays for the upfront seating, they are condemned to camping out on the steep sides of the hill. For the record, the slopes lie at about a 68-degree angle (which makes lots of money for concession workers who cater to people who are constantly spilling their drinks).
Enjoy your stay in Columbia, Mr. Lovett.
