Maybe this is going to seem like an attack piece of music journalism, but sometimes you just have to look at the facts and point out the idiocy. Carolina Rebellion, a North Carolina rock festival whose first listed piece of general information is “This Festival is a Rain or Shine Event“, cancelled the final day of the festival yesterday due to rain.
The festival made a post on Facebook saying “Due to inclement weather continuing throughout the night, we have to cancel the remainder of Carolina Rebellion 2013. This decision was made to ensure your safety as well as the bands and everyone involved in Rebellion. Please check our website out in the coming weeks for updates and hold onto your ticket stub.” The two day festival’s first day went smoothly, but during the second day, the show was called off. The Charlotte Observer states that Volbeat cancelled, moving Buckcherry up an hour. Buckcherry would turn out to be the last act, with Soundgarden, Rise Against, and Bush also cancelling.
If I were a ticket holder, I’d be very upset. The festival deliberately states the show would happen rain or shine, and it seems no one in Charlotte considered the possibility of rain in May. Somewhere in the southeast, there are thousands of pissed off concert goers.

But, now that we've cleared that up and you called your high school janitor, know that I quit being a janitor to pursue writing about music. So here I am, and here you are, and hey how are you?
