Customer Reviews

Resplendent!

Hark the the authors of gentlenaught! Quite a fanciful book indeed, but for where art thine Druid Folk Festival? Missing? Aye, missing indeed. Where lutes are lusty, women busty, and the bards do belt with drunk advance, you'll find me and mine singing and dancing with my boots outside my pants.

This book helped me triumph over my hatred of jam bands

This book is a rollicking romp through hundreds of music festivals across the US of A. I think the authors really like jam bands like Radberry Surprise and the Jamfactory because the best writing was about the jam festivals. I'm about to leave a 7 year lesbian relationship and set out across America to spend a year at music festivals and the two books I will bring with me are "The Music Festival Guide" and "Iacocca".

This book really made me look at my lesbian marriage

This book was the most awesome book on lesbian music festivals I have ever read. The festival descriptions are emotional and erotic! I loved every entry and highly recommend this book to all women, whether you are straight, bi, or lesbian. This book shows how lesbian music festivals really are, especially the behind-the-scenes sexual intrigue. A real eye-opener for the novice or curious. BI THIS BOOK.

Jam Bands

There has been much hype for The Music Festival Guide and its self defense benefits. I purchased this book with high hopes that it could provide some insight into the frightening realism of defense from an armed assailant. What I got, however, was short reviews of jam band festivals which give you less than a fifty fifty chance of survival from a dangerous encounter. Ground fighting is non existant, and the manner in which you defend yourself in several of these situations does not include controlling the weapon, a fundamental concept in street effective self defense. Overall, I would not reccomend this book for anything more than a reference to music festivals.

Whoa!

I am really anticipating this book alot. I go to alot Blue Grass Folk and festivals around all over and having a book of ideas for guiding me will really be a good thing. I bet its good and want to read it alot.
