Double Decker Fest Releases Lineup



OXFORD -- The Double Decker Arts Festival, held annually on the historic square of Faulkner's fabled Yoknapatawpha County (that's Oxford for all you uncivilized people), has yet again released a music lineup unparalleled on the small town arts festival scene.

The festival, which is to be held on the Oxford square on Saturday, April 26, 2008, is in its 13th year of running and has increased in both size, scope and quality with each passing year. This year, the festival is introducing a car show in addition to their mainstay attractions. DDAF is known for its displays by local artists, culinary masters, and musical acts.

With this year's music lineup, headlined by country-folk artists The Avett Brothers, Double Decker promises to be another successful year for the festival that got it's name from the bright red British double decker bus that circumnavigates the square throughout the weekend.

Without further ado, here is the music lineup. More information about Double Decker Arts Festival can be found on their website.

The fact that Blue Mountain is not the headlining act is a freaking joke.

The real joke is that this is filed under Delta Music.

The best joke of them all is that anonymous comments are no longer allowed. Seriously, just make up an alias or something and let us know who you are. Shouldn't be that big of a deal...

Obama or McCain? You Decide.

Barack Obama is the only candidate that has been successful at reaching across party lines in the presidential election. I as well have not had much to say on The Dirt. It is unfortunate that I no longer consider myself in tune with life in the Delta and can no longer comment as such. My free time (what little of it I have) has also been dedicated to following both the presidential election and American Idol like a hawk. That having been said, I am not afraid to admit that my name is on Amy's list of previously sane people who are seriously considering Obama in November. Now, my consideration depends on a lot of future events to fall into place. First and foremost, Obama will have to beat Hillary for the Democratic nomination. If that were to happen, my pick between Obama and McCain would also depend on who each picks for their veep candidate. As a self-proclaimed independent, I find myself torn between these two candidates and refuse to make a blind decision based on what ce...

Editorial: As Predicted, McCain Falls in the Polls

This two-minute campaign ad clearly states Barack Obama's plan to reenergize our economy. Thank God someone is addressing this issue. In an opinion editorial previously published this week, I predicted that the roller coaster ride the economy has been on this week would cause Republican presidential candidate John McCain to fall in the polls. "My prediction: By the end of the week, McCain's stance on the economy will cause his Palin bump in the polls to all but disappear." According to Real Clear Politics , "one of America’s premier independent political web sites," my prediction came true. Currently, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is ahead in the polls by 1.9% , approximately the level by which he was ahead leading into the Democratic and Republican conventions. The Palin bump that McCain joined is now completely gone. This reversal of fortune is due, in part, to Obama's strength on the issue of the economy and the popularity of his e...
