As of yesterday still on.

Spent 2 years of my youth about thirty minutes from where that was being held. I have no idea how Oak Hill has infrastructure for many visitors.

The New River Gorge is absolutely gorgeous. 
The place where the fest is a big campground/cabins already.  I went on a 2-day, one-night (camped on the shore of the NR) white water rafting trip starting at that location…Highly recommended!  CAT 5 rapids on the New River!

My worst nightmare…camping and a hippie fest with bluegrass

It is. And it’s also in the heart of the most soul-crushing, endemic poverty any racial resentment you will ever experience. I hated living there but I am thankful that I did so at an age where I could process the connections between poverty, white resentment, and political views that continue to ring true today. And remember, I lived there when it was, maybe, the most Democratic voting state in the country. Robert Byrd era.

This thread is going places.

No. I’ve addressed this before. My father worked for universities for much of my formative years. Particularly for universities with agronomy or soil science programs and “test plots”. We moved around a great deal, WV, AZ, CO, et al being destinations. We were not poor in WV but good lord everyone else was. If you made $45k a year in Summersville, WV in the mid-90s, you were basically Cher Horowitz.

My version of your life would sell more copies.

You could dose rape me with a pint of ayahuasca if it meant I could be outside and listen to some tunes… Even if it's bluegrass.

We didn't mix with the natives, I'd have  Burt Reynolds play me in the re-enactment

Feels like Miley has been doing the modern version of the American songbook …some misses, but a few gems
I thought her Wish You Were Here* on SNL was great and timely

*obviously not an American band

I liked her cover of Doll Parts…

I got a turntable for Xmas and dug out all my unplayed for almost 30 years vinyl

Ziggy Stardust is an amazing album

I think it was timing …was the first SNL show after the lockdown and a very fitting song for that

Nope.  Did you not see how subtly brilliant Hope was in that other video?  There was nothing subtle about Miley's performance.

Mediocre cover band with one trick - vibrato.  Excessive vibrato.  I'm a little over it.
