The cost of The Pavilion at Wolf Lake looks to keep going up for taxpayers. Apparently, according to Rolling Stone magazine, the public space was rented as a concert/festival venue, to promoters promoting an event billed as "CrazeFest". The event ended when Hammond Police "killed the power" when an "unauthorized act" virtually took stage in the form of a holograph beamed from 2 thousand miles away. Hammond's Chief McDermott apparently has a beef with "Chief Keef", a Chicago rapper who was not authorized. McDermott says "our contract clearly allows us to authorize all acts that play on our stage." The promoter says they'll sue our arse. McDermott and Co. should remember that "our stage" is "Our Stage" a public space, and that The US Constitution is generally against governments limiting peoples' speech rights in that space. Is the explicit consent of Hammond's Chief needed to speak publically? Will our Chief's queef be Chief Keef's jackpot?
So, only authorized rap trash like 2Chains can perform, but this other rap trash can't? The city is going to get sued, and the residents of Hammond will be paying, once again.
