I’m ridiculously broke. Many of us in this tough economy can’t find a job, and I blame the baby boomers. I blame them for their economic policies, I blame them for forcing all their children to go to college so they can have a “real job,” I blame them for us not being able to get a “real job” after college because they oversaturated the market with their stupid post-collegiate kids while all of them still hold all their jobs since their aforementioned policies staved away all hopes of retirement – essentially, I blame them for me not having a job. They fucked my generation. Dammit, Mom and Dad!
See, Kenny Bloggins never blames himself for not having a job. He never thinks rational thoughts such as “hey, maybe I should’ve majored in engineering or computer science instead of fancy-pansy-writin’.” No, fuck that shit. Cognitive dissonance is the new black.
In the face of such bummer circumstances, however, Louisville has you covered, at least this weekend, for the third annual Good Folk Festival at the Mellwood Arts Center. It’s a serious lineup, headlined by Daniel Johnston. You get it all for $5. And since it’s an art festival as well, Daniel Johnston will be showcasing some new original art for the event. I don’t have any tattos, but if I were to get over my aversion to needles, I’ve always said that I would definitely go with the friendly little monster on Hi, How Are You.
The event kicks off TONIGHT and goes all weekend. Daniel performs tomorrow afternoon at 2 p.m. I also must recommend local garage kitsch thrashers The Smacks as well. You can grab the MAC’s location on this blog’s new and nifty Venue Guide. Use it to also find Bloggins and friends at his Highlands Tap Room unofficial afterparty, broseph!
Oh, and dude, czech out this amazing photo I found on Last.fm. It’s good to be king.
