Red Rocks 2008: The MILF Year: "Music I'd Love to Forget"
You take the world's best outdoor venue for live music, one that musicians count on their "must do" list, and you put 50 somethings in charge (that's all I can think of to blame!) Whaddya get? Well look out below, but it ain't pretty. Here's a glimpse of the 2008 Red Rocks line-up.

Jethro Tull. Aqualung man himself? Yep, he’s still alive, purportedly.
The Police. Every Breath You Take…might be your last. Picture flocks of 50 somethings divorcees ascending the rocks, all aflutter to see Sting in his tight red leathers.
Mr Red, White and Battered Blue – Red Eyes, Pasty White Skin, and Protruding Blue Veins. I think I’d be crying in the rain. I couldn’t bring myself to using his “new” Gravedigger video. Yikes!
Hmmm, kind of a great “leading indicator” of the 2008 line-up. Mark Knofler live. I’m betting he’s moved to a lap guitar by now.
True Colors Tour.
GLBT solidarity is cool, but do we need to drag up (no pun intended) Joan Armatrading, the B-52’s, and the Indigo Girls to fill out the rainbow? Oy!
Steve Miller Band. Must we be subjected to 40 something couples singing “I really love your peaches, wannna shake your trees” to each other?
Let’s get Closer to the Heart (surgery ward).
