Nothing says retro like a 75 year old guy playing guitar and singing lyrics with aged out vocal cords and a replacement member.

Love Sharp Dressed Man. Great song.

10:30 - A man has to earn a living. He has condo payments on the beach just like you and me. What would you want him to do? Play rhythm guitar for the Beach Boys?

BFG sounds just as good as he always has. You boys are about as fun as dick cancer. Stay home and listen to Taylor Swift with your husbands.

Have seen them twice and can't wait to make this my third!

First time seeing them was in Brandon during the height of COVID while "working from home."

Yet, how miserable does a person have to be to make the effort to post about 75 year old men playing guitar?

So who is forcing you to buy a ticket?

10:30,
Don't worry, I'm sure your favorite band Air Supply, or Leo Sayer will be along shortly.

This concert will put a huge drain on supplies of "medical" cannabis.

Sweet! Great news. March can be a little chilly at night but it's allrite!

10:30 here. My favorite band is TSO. And they don’t play outdoors up or in the coliseum no more

I did see stop or iron butterfly when they were still popular at Thunder’s Tavern on the coast decades ago. It ain’t a fun concert unless there’s a biker brawl in the parking lot

They've got a lot of ADA work to do on that stage in hurry then

Saw them a couple of times in the 70's and the last time they were in Brandon right after Dusty had died in 2021. Still put on a good show.

I feel sorry for the people that have to live with the poor souls that sit around and wait to post something negative about absolutely anything on this sight (other than something touting Trump).

Saw them at the coliseum back in the 70’s. Great show.

And Beer For My Hosses.. said...

The same complainers will buy new shades at Dollar General and wear out a set of mudgrips in order to hear the reinvented Zombies, Monkeys or Cap'n Beefheart.

First at Southern when Tres Hombres was fresh out, concert was thick with Rio Grande Mud tunes as well. Second, third, forth....can't remember.

I saw them this past summer with Skynyrd and ZZ Top was not good at all.

Anxiously waiting yo hear Mexican Blackbird. It’s the only song that makes sense.

Uh-haw-haw-haw-haw. I saw them at the coliseum twice in the seventies, the second time touring after the release of Fandango, not that much time having passed between the two shows, I seem to recall now. A ticket for the Fandango show was, I think, $4. Wish I had saved the stub now.

11:11: HAHAHAHA Bullseye!!

It's not that I'm old. The current popular music really does suck. I blame American Idol for the decline.

I don't really like ZZ Top but I'd go see them before any bro country or Swifty type gig. The whole Swift/Wallen/Combs/Eilish thing is for people with no musical taste or preteen "basic" girls. Make. Music. Great. Again.

Been checking out some GVF recently. One of its Red Rocks concerts is on Youtube. Not bad.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both will entitle you to free drinks.Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required, just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '07 is for EVERYONE!!!
