Uncanny

I catered for Terrapin Restaurant in Rhinebeck last night at the Dutchess County Fair for The Beach Boys, and despite the nerves and the work, had an even more amazing time than I had expected!

They were a lot of fun and the music was awesome! The range of people there in the largest crowd the fair has seen I am told was quite a sight.

And the topper to my evening? I got a big hug from Al Jardine who told me Terrapin's dinner was the best meal they had had at a fair in 45 years!!!

Are we talking about the beach boys from the DC Fair?....Those jackasses that would not allow the American Flag on stage?...may they rot in Hell!!

Funny how this crap starts up from almost nowhere. I just found three other reports on The Beach Boys appearance. None of them mention one tiny little bit of trouble with the staging. I know from the times I've seen the band, including The Washington DC Mall on the 4th of July with Ringo Starr, they had a complete stage change between them and any other act. They are allowed to control their own image, aren't they? Perhaps this country DJ from WRWD didn't like The Beach Boys to start with, or had some ulterior motive for his attack. Maybe the show was delayed as they changed the stage, he saw the flag coming down, and drew a biased conclusion. But nobody else seems to have had a problem.

My son serves to protect the flag. I am sorry to hear the Beach Boys feel the flag would over shadow their great performance. I have now lost respect for them and will move on to another oldie beach / pop group to listen to.
