Randomly Noted Streetalk: Will Dave Matthews screw up Piedmont Park?

Lear: Dave is here to bring some positive energy. It’s not some Nine Inch Nails, death-metal hate band. It’s about love. But we’re not paying 50 bucks for it. Like Steely Dan. I didn’t have a ticket and it was sold out, but I said I was going to see Steely Dan and they’re not going to stop me. I walked right through the door and got into the show for free [at Chastain]. It’s all about the mental attitude. I’ll see Dave.

Starla: I enjoy this park. I like that the grass is green. When you put lots of people in a small space, it doesn’t stay that way. You end up with brown patches all over the place. I like Dave Matthews, but a lot of people in a small space can ruin a park. I would rather preserve the park than have it trampled on by hundreds and hundreds of people. If you’re not from here, you don’t understand the culture of this park.

Kirstin: It is so cool that he’s doing it here. It’s a special event to benefit the park, and it’s sort of a green event. I got my tickets right when they went on sale. The Dave Matthews Band, more than any other band, is aware of global and environmental issues. And $45 is not much for a concert. You can probably stand in the street and hear it. And that’s cool, too. Dave Matthews would appreciate that. They’re pro-downloading their music for free.

So how is Nine Inch Nails a death-metal hate band. Just download Leaving hope and you'll had a new found appreciation for music about love.

Better yet, download And All That Could Have Been the SONG and you'll know it's not [entirely] about hate.

I'm fairly certain the $1,000,000 that was donated to the PPC as a result of this event will help with any of the "brown patches". This entire event was designed as a fund raiser to provide for the future of the park.
