No Summer Music at Bayfront?
There’s Reggae Fest and Blues Fest … and that’s it this year?
After doing a bit of searching, I don’t see ANY other music coming to Bayfront this year. If I am remembering right, there was some problems with starting/ending times of the (very) few concerts held there over the past couple years. Has Secret Service Entertainment totally given up on music there? I have to admit, the few times I have been able to see a show there … kicking back in the grass with a drink or two, and nice breeze off the lake … heavenly.
I’m a longtime lurker, and I trust y’all to know what’s going on in Duluth. So tell me, where did my summer music go? 🙁

Yesterday in History
Sorry for the belatedness, but I felt I had to acknowledge the 16th anniversary of the release of Guided By Voices’ Bee Thousand, one of my favorite rock albums of all time. Pitchfork has it at #10 in the Top 100 Albums of the ’90s, a tad low if you ask me. I may be slightly obsessed with GBV, but I think this album has something for just about everyone. “I am a Scientist!”
