Mike, the guy putting it on, is risking losing his shirt for the 3rd time in an attempt to bring music to the benighted boonies. The show starts at 4:00, and will probably be over by 7:00 or so, so you can still see the Indicators or Vic Vacume. UFO UFO are coming, with Schenker, Mogg and Way. Too bad they're not playing the Amphitheater... THE ULTIMATE HAS-BEEN FEST I can't tell you how much this makes me laugh: Foreigner, Alan Parsons, Blue Oyster Cult, Kansas, Eric Burdon and Mickey Thomas's Starship at a 3-day fest at clothing-optional Turtle Lake Resort in Michigan. "You will encounter nude sunbathing and skinnydippers while at the resort. Join the fun!" 1-800-480-7004 for info. HORDE FESTIVAL Tickets go on sale Saturday at 10am for the HORDE thing. Yawn. WORST BAND NAME I finally saw Galaxy Of Mailbox Whores tonight (Hi, Dave!), and was impressed. I always groaned when I saw them listed because their name sucks. Luckily for them, there's a worse one in this week's list: Lowest Common Denominator. SUBSCRIPTIONS & CORRESPONDENCE Mail to <shows@farpost.chi.il.us>. For subscriptions, tell me where you found us.
