On KMOX this morning, Missy Slay said that O.A.R. had been the most-requested band on the festival's website.

Bring Back "G. Love"...the guy is a sick performer and that show absolutely ruled last summer.



I highly recommend Lapush. OAR could be decent...expect a bunch of Greek letters though

considering the Oak Ridge Boys were pretty much Fair St. Louis mainstays 20 yrs. after the rest of the country moved on from "Elvira" I'd say this is progress

OAR -- seriously? It's a frat party in 1997.

LOL, I guess i'll be the drunk "frat" boy in the front row.

I will also be attending Marquis Knox (that kid can whale), and black crows, but I'm mosted excited about Rusted Root.



- I'll also be at the DMB/black Crows concert.

Jeff707 wrote:OAR just has never appealed to me.

OAR, Umphrey's, Rusted Root. It's one big summer of jam-bands

No tickets necessary?

two women in my office were talking about the "unsavory characters" that you see down at Live on the Levee and Fair St. Louis. The kicker---they are both from JeffCo Those who live in glass meth labs shouldn't throw stones.

I wouldnt be surprised if July 26th will be the biggest weekend with OneRepublic playing.

Jeff707 wrote:What is OneRepublic?

It's too late to aplologize...It's tooo laaaaaaaaaaate!

Jeff707 wrote:What is OneRepublic?

A bunch of guys who should be very thankful to Timbaland.

Yep, OneRepublic is big right now.

The Nickelodeon kid would probably be a hit with teeny boppers.

^yeah but you are probably a good music whore-- on the level of the Spitzer prostitute, Ashley Dupree or whatever her name was.

The music whores that know all about One Republic are akin to truck stop hos.

Jeff707 wrote:I've never heard of them and I'm a music whore

Probably just don't listen to newer R&B/alternative rock-ish type music then? Their 2 hits are

"Apologize" produced by Timbaland

I'm holding on your rope,

Got me ten feet off the ground

I'm hearin what you say but I just can't make a sound

You tell me that you need me

Then you go and cut me down, but wait

You tell me that you're sorry

Didn't think I'd turn around, and say...



It's too late to apologize, it's too late

I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late



And their other hit "Stop & Stare"

This town is colder now, I think it's sick of us

It's time to make our move, I'm shakin off the rust

I've got my heart set on anywhere but here

I'm staring down myself, counting up the years

Steady hands, just take the wheel...

And every glance is killing me

Time to make one last appeal... for the life I lead



Stop and stare

I think I'm moving but I go nowhere

Yeah I know that everyone gets scared

But I've become what I can't be, oh

Stop and stare

You start to wonder why you're 'here' not there

And you'd give anything to get what's fair

But fair ain't what you really need

Oh, can u see what I see

Well, I hesitate to call them R&B, but their first big hit could probably be called that, especially since it was produced by Timbaland.



Stop & Stare would probably be alternative rock.
