New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival
Oh, this is just PAINFULLY unfair!!! After making a group decision that it was probably best to skip the New Orleans Jazzfest this year because (a) the racetrack complex was under water for 8 weeks, (b) there wouldn't be adequate / affordable hotels or housing available, and (c) it was "too soon", - they release Bruce Springsteen and the Seeger Band as headliners, not to mention:

Fats Domino, Jimmy Buffett, Dave Matthews Band, Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, Lionel Richie, Keith Urban, Yolanda Adams, Herbie Hancock, La India, The Meters, Allen Toussaint w/ Elvis Costello, Etta James, Ani DiFranco, Keb' Mo, Pete Fountain, and many, many more.

ARRRGGHHHH.

    Folk artists, like the musicians celebrated at Jazzfest, are fervent artists of expression never pausing to question, is it art? Outsider artists, like the masters of jazz and the blues, create because the spirit moves them. They are undeciphered enigmas of the American landscape--the symbols of freedom, those living outside the system. Their craft is raw, the result of the pure impulse to create, and therein lies its power and originality.
