Shame On A Skipper: Wu-Tang and Snoop enrage yachting community
- Artists:

Chicago Yachting Association have become incensed with promoters Clear Channel Entertainment after Wu-Tang Clan and Snoop Dogg both provided recent profanity-littered performances at the Northerly Island Charter One Pavilion.
According to The Chicago Sun-Times, association affiliates labelled the concerts "profane" and issued a complaint to Chicago Park District authorities on September 12 after Wu-Tang and Snoop Dogg (Calvin Broadus) both brandished various uncouth unmentionables throughout their respective sets, as well as Broadus apparently encouraging his fans to "kill the police".
Far from imposing a curb on the right for freedom of speech, 61-year-old member Frank Gagliano represented the yachtsmen by stating: "They have the right to say it, but they should go somewhere children don't have to hear it."
Chicago Park Superintendent Timothy Mitchell weighed into the debate regarding the Clear Channel bureaucrats' inappropriate booking: "When they were talking about Snoop Dogg, I thought they were talking about that little beagle that sits on top of the dog house in Peanuts".

"I just wish we could un-imagine Keane..."
He was expecting
Snoopy to play a show? How does that work exactly?
what a tit.
There comes a point where claiming ignorance fails to exonerate and just makes you look like a complete tit deserving of any misfortune that befalls you.
hmm
it's not clear what he thought the wu-tang clan might be, in that case. real shaolin monks? or are they too violent too?
