You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Great picture. A true classic. lol!!
ReplyDeleteKnowing Roebuck, he probably shat a good shit so that Mr Parks has to dig to get the spare change...
ReplyDeletePretty tacky to ask for donations during the last Musikfest concert when folks are 'imprisoned' in their seats and onlookers glance.
ReplyDeleteI want to go to re-education camp!!
ReplyDeleteWhen he shares with me the millions he made in prior years , Ill give him a donation..Ooops, still waiting..
ReplyDeleteDont forget he has to use the stupid tickets because the US Dollar is no longer leagal tender at musicfest. Oh and lets not forget how you can't get your money back in full if you don't use them all. You can only get partial and certain stores afterwards. What a joke of a festival it has become.
ReplyDeleteDon Cunningham (and his tone-deaf garage bandmates) LOVE Jeff Parks. Cunningham wanted to give each $30 refund to Parks. Luckily he was stopped.
ReplyDeleteI couldnt agree more with the sentiment gloriously expressed in the photo!
ReplyDeleteIsn't Jeff parks like the highest paid individual working for a "non-profit" organization? This is absolutely rediculous. The City of Bethlehem already provides a tremendous amount of cash for this evetn and that comes from me --- a taxpayer.
ReplyDeleteThis whole thing is truly getting out of hand. He wants to control everything and in 28 years has no rainy day fund.
Fire him or make him cut his salary in half.
Normally you can judge a person by his enemies but since few on here have the courage of their convictions to "Take on" Mr. Parks by using their names I can assume that his opponents (here) are not really serious or thoughtful about ways to improve this organization.
ReplyDeletePetty and snarky comments do not help and they do not hurt they just sit out there in a black hole of irrelevance.
Right "Donald", glad you have the courage of your convictions.
ReplyDelete"Ralph"
I have nothing against this dude making the salary he does. But if Artsquest just managed that new facility down there better, they could rake in the dough. The lineup post-Musikfest is pretty sad and will generate an anemic amount of revenue. Get a real promoter in there to bring in real acts that people will come from far and wide to see. It seems like they need to give away tickets to some of these lame shows just to make the artist feel better. Leverage what you have Parks. Oh, and that Steel Stage could be hosting concerts all summer long, not just during Musikfest.
ReplyDeleteSteel stacks is a great venue but despite jeff P nothing has been said about the problem getting top tier acts here in the valley due to clear channel and their ways to control where their concerts are allowed.
