Fact: This time, the Big E Really Hates Rap

For those of you, like me, who are unfamiliar with the nuances of the New England states, the Big E is not a slang term for a designer drug or another way of spelling the name of a dead east-coast rapper.

In fact, they might be offended if you tried to compare them with a rapper. The Big E (as I understand it) is a large fair, featuring food, drink, carnival, livestock, and a main stage of performing acts. People from across the land come to enjoy this event, which lasts much longer than it rightfully should (probably a month?).

Why then does the Big E hate rap? Well, if you'd dutifully clicked on the above link like a good reader should, you'd notice the lineup of acts. Brooke Hogan, Taylor, Daughtry, Joan Jett, Trace Adkins, Montgomery Gentry and Josh Turner. I'm not going to lie and tell you that I know who all of these people are. I've been told that a few are country singers and the rest are "no talent ass clowns." Wait, now I'm being told that they're all ass-clowns.

You might notice that inconspicuously (or not so much) in BRIGHT YELLOW is a box. In that box they announce the cancellation of the Ludacris concert. Yes, there are all sorts of arguments, like "well maybe the demographic just isn't Luda fans." or "Luda musta told too many bitches to move or get out the way." or "We don't like shaking our money-makers." or "He ain't got Ho's in THIS area code."
I could go on for days. That was surprisingly enjoyable.

Anyway, the good folks at The Big E didn't have to write "Ludacris has been cancelled due to poor ticket sales." Hey, that may be the truth, and perhaps it points to Luda's waning popularity or the musical taste of a geographic region. But show a little respect. There's no need to publicly knock him. That yellow box might as well have said, "Ludacris sucks - show is off". At least then he'd be able to "rollout" with some dignity.
