Reorganize Memphis in May

I guess leaving incendiary comments on the vaunted Commercial Appeal website is not enough, so let me repeat myself here:

The Memphis In May organization needs to take the last weekend event away from the archaic Memphis Symphony and its almost entirely local and cheap-ticket patrons, and give it to the much larger, tourism-beneficial, and lucrative Beale Street Music Festival, which suffers from being rained out in large part many years. The young people attracted by the tens of famous acts and suckered into laying out big bucks for the three-day event are getting ripped off routinely by Memphis in May's stick-in-the-mud management, who suck up to the Symphony and give it the driest weekend in May and even give the local players and attendance a rain date! Damn! What sense does that make?

If I were mayor and a word to the "wise" were insufficient, I'd tell Memphis in May you won't be getting use of Tom Lee Park, any permits, or any personnel support for your events unless you swap dates of the Symphony and the Beale Street Music Festival. Not to mention: Symphony = Whitey's music. Beale Street = Blackie's music. Hello? There, I've said my piece where they can't delete it. Lot of good it will do. It's Memphis, after all.
