Well, here’s hoping that the fellows formerly known as Sparky’s Flaw don’t forget their nautical-themed pashmina afghans. This spring, the tangentially musical TV station known as VH1 unveils "Best Cruise Ever," a five-day floating music fest hosted by 3 Doors Down and featuring Parachute, the local Red Light-approved pop act perhaps best know for the mathematical proof She = Love. Prices to attend the cruise begin at $799. But can you really put a price on this?
No, I couldn’t help myself. In case you’re one of the five people who haven’t seen this video, beware—it contains salty language.
The lineup for the "Best Cruise Ever" looks pretty atrocious—populated by bands including the dudes that recorded "Hanging by a Moment" and, well, all of these folks. To be completely honest, the lineup should work to Parachute’s advantage; the band ought to emerge from this cruise well-rested, tanned and with a few new fans repelled by the likes of just about every other act on board.
To be even more completely honest, I’d like to go, please…if only to write the pop-cruise equivalent of this.
What local bands would you like to see on a boat?
