Snoop Dogg in ATL?

[EricH]

I don't know anything about Snoop Dogg's "music", but I want to say this:

If the lyrics are something that your grandma would cringe at, it's a pretty good bet that it will not be played at a FIRST event. My guess is that there would be a pre-event screening that the performer in question would have to do before being allowed to perform at the event.

Here's why: Many, many years ago, during the Epcot days (fortunately for me, one I wasn't at--but my dad was and told me a little bit about it), someone played a video during the closing ceremony that hadn't been pre-screened by FIRST. As soon as it was over, FIRST apologized for showing it, because it was inappropriate. Ever since, videos have been pre-screened. Live performances would at least need to give some indication that it would remain reasonably family-friendly.

My guess is that the rumored visit to Atlanta has nothing whatsoever to do with FIRST, or was canceled at some point. Atlanta is a big city, with dozens of venues and many events (like car shows or home and garden shows, to name a couple) going on. If somebody says they'll be in a city of that size, and you want to meet them, it'll be almost impossible to find them, unless you know exactly where they're going to be. We don't know if he'd be coming for FIRST, for the Braves, for a concert, for fun (what? musician going somewhere for fun?), or what.

I'll see you all after you get back from the Island of Conclusions; have a nice swim. [bonus points if you get the reference]
