This is getting very negative and isnt productive.  If you are new to the forum its best to hang back and get the vibe before posting too much.  This is a positive supportive place.   Whats done with Michelle Shocked is done and its over with, at least as far as TBF is concerned.   Can we focus on all the killer bands/sets PB has lined up for us and start celebrating?

I am with you oddfired, There is way to much negativity over something that has already been settled. I know this is only just my opinion, but I think it's time to take a deep breath and be glad that the Monks are coming back. The Drepung Monks will be there for the entire weekend, not just one set. So everything is looking up as far as I am concerned. I do want to thank Planet Bluegrass for taking our feelings into consideration. I do believe they did the right thing for us, and I can't wait for this years TBF to get started.

I think so too! Good thing I'm not running the show . That freedom of speech thing has kinda well, as a writer I have a little bit of a different perspective I guess but as a person she was wrong and thank you PBG
  Now lets get this party started!

...but also because of the well-known high moral standards of Camp Run-A-Muck (yeah...keep laughing jerkwads). 

... (at my computer wearing Sam Bush boxer shorts)...

How did you type high moral standards of Camp Run-A-Muck  without getting struck by lighting?

I need me some S.B boxers...

Maybe she'll sit in with the monks.

i really feel her comments were misconstrued by our politically correct world.  it is almost as if they were said in jest, sarcastic in a way but people are so touchy these days and she really did not know how to backtrack on her comment after the poop hit the fan, so to speak. or maybe not. maybe i am giving to much of the benefit of the doubt. but whatever, we got the monks now.

I think you may possibly be right about her comments being in jest, but it seems like everything she said/says is so convoluted and unpredictable (and just...strange...), that putting her on stage is a risk, what with the other stories out there about unpredictable behavior at her shows. She seems mentally unstable, which is sad.  The monks are a wonderful replacement, and I look forward to all of their contributions to the festival.
