I laughed reading the whole thing. Sounds like a 5 year old complaining about how he hates broccoli. I can't believe people get paid for writing this way.

I don't mind—I even appreciate—well-written criticisms. This is the exact opposite. Nothing here to even consider taking this writer seriously.

How can anyone take this serious? this is obviously some guy who is a big fan of The Onion and decided to write some dumb/fake articles.

Click-bait. And all of us who read it are suckers for thinking there would by anything intelligent behind the title.

"White fell in love with the idyllic festival (where flags were being flown at half mast to honor the recently departed Pete Seeger) and eventually teared up while playing "Goodnight Irene" during his Newport set. White and Sweet shared a helicopter out of the venue. "[White] said, 'I can't believe this still exists in music. For the last 18 years, I haven’t been able to go to a music festival just because I get hassled,'" Sweet recalls. "He said, 'I walked around here and nobody bothered me; nobody asked for my autograph; nobody took a picture of me. You don’t know what that means to me. Thank you for allowing me to fall back in love with a music festival. And I found out about the Milk Carton Kids!'"

If you're like me, you'll need a tissue or two when you read part 3 of the Crave interview with the band: http://www.craveonline.com/music/891589 ... ikey-owens

I think it's great that Fernando asked them about reviews and media hoopla. The guys gave very rational, measured responses showing that they've got their heads screwed on nice and straight.
