The morons at Woodstock™ simply refuse to stop dry-humping their hippy vision of The Future, or at least of August.  After the entire state of New York told them to Eat All The DIcks, they apparently found someone’s yard in Maryland to hold this stupid thing.  About 10 minutes after they announced the move, Jay Z dropped out, as did several other groups.  Then about 10 minutes after that, Woodstock™ released all previously signed acts from their previously signed contracts.  Then about 24 hours after that, Woodstock™ announced that (stop me if this sounds hauntingly familiar), “It’s a free concert from now on.”  Yep…the concert is now billed as a “benefit concert,” though whom exactly will be benefiting remains a complete mystery.  Evidently no one will be getting paid, so it’s unclear how that’s going to work.  Donations are being encouraged, which, we all know how that will turn out.

So they have a tentative venue in a nowhere state, and they’re now hoping that a bunch of people will show up to watch who knows which if any bands show up to play for free will donate enough money for the staff and organizers and maybe even the artists to get pain at least a couple bucks for their troubles.

Absolutely desperate.
