thatll be the big issue during the fallow if theres an incident. Emily wanted to do this favor for her father and then decided to not care about safety and literally allowed the headliner of the evening be in a space thats too small. They still arent learning their lessons cause they trust human beings too much.
That being said, not seeing Neil Young but will wait on the other options Charli aside since I can just see her in April with proper guests and stage placement anyway.
Congrats on your lack of musical knowledge I guess? Some would be afraid to highlight their ignorance of a pretty well-known and massively influential artist.
I'm pretty sure almost everyone that knows a few Pixies songs would know a few Neil Young songs. Especially considering the influence that a track like HHMM (Into the Black) would have had on alt.rock and then grunge.
As for "so many better artists that are obvious that would fit the bill better", please list 15.
