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 45^th 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
