I was going to write a snarky post about how sucky the entertainment is at the HOIFair, but really, it isn’t that bad. Country singer Trent Tomlinson is sure to be a big draw with his smash hit “drunker than me”, WWE (world wrestling entertainment) makes use of many of Saliva’s songs and they even played live at WrestleMania X8.
There’s nothing better than watching a Christian Comedian, on a Sunday no less, before being prodded by the carnies to try to win a mirror with a girl in a bikini on it.
Karaoke? Who doesn’t like Karaoke?
Canadian Rockers Finger Eleven is also popular with the WWE crowd, as their song “One Thing” has been used multiple times. Remember Tone Loc? He’s the 80’s rapper who had the hits Funky Cold Medina and Wild Thing. Finally we have hairband Firehouse who were booed at the 1991 American Music Awards when they were chosen over Nirvana and Alice In Chains as the “Best New Hard Rock/Metal Band”
Sounds like another winning lineup, but don’t go expecting to find me there- I’ll be home watching the show Ice Road Truckers that Scott O’Brien wrote about.
