An OPEN LETTER to the Dumbasses that Killed Jamboree in the Hills …

-

Dear Live Nation folks:

You never should have canceled it. You should have just started to sell the beer.

No hiatus. No Jambo Country. Just a policy change the fans would have accepted like they have everywhere else.

But, instead of celebrating the 45th year of the “Super Bowl of Country Music,” local fans are attending the third annual “Blame My Roots” festival … and they sell beer … and people buy it. Go figure.

Sincerely,

The Anniversary Club
