Here something interesting someones Livejournal entry:
i never update this thing, but words cannot even begin to express how dissapointed i am.
ahh, i'm so sad. lauryn hill played (is playing as i write this) a free show in wingate park, as part of the martin luther king concert series. you know, the free summer concerts: the one thing marty markowitz has done right. i've been looking forward to this show for months. got there at 7:30 with my sister, complete with old man folding chairs, and waited about an hour and a half on line only to be turned away because the park was "filled past capacity." 17,000 people! i've been going to these free shows since i was in junior high school and this is the first time i've ever been turned away!
thousands of people were denied entry...the cops wouldn't even let people listen in the street, and they were grabbing people who tried to hop over through a vacant lot. every entrance was sealed and guarded off and cops on bullhorns were yelling at people to "evacuate the area at once" and "get off the (blocked off) street.".it's a shame she wasn't doing one of the benefit concerts. i so would have paid 30 bucks to see her. now who knows if i'll ever get the chance.
