    I am the maddest motherf**ker on earth...
       Meshell was scheduled to play River Stages ( an annual weekend long orgy
    of bands held here in Nashville ) this past weekend. She was to go on after
    Travis, who ended up being an hour and a half late going on, essentially
    playing in her time slot. After they were finished with their set it was
    another fourty five minutes until Meshell took the stage, but I didn't care,
    I was going to get to see Meshell do her thing and I was excited. ( she was
    the only reason I bought the freakin' ticket... ) Three songs into her set,
    one of the stage hands comes out and whispers something into her ear that
    pisses her off so bad that she takes her bass, throws it down on the ground,
    and walks off stage with the rest of the band in tow. A split second later
    some local radio yokel introduces Gov't Mule on the second stage and they
    launch into their set. The only explaination that I can come up with is that
    they must have cut her off in the interest of time. The whole deal had to be
    over with at a certain time and there were still three more bands to go after
    Gov't Mule. I was so pissed off that I left. She was the only soul / r&b
    artist amongst the onslought of three chord rock that dominated the weekend,
    and she gets clipped short because a bunch of scottish cats can't show up on
    time? Please...
