Why Utah? Why Orem?

It is an embarrassment to Utah, but it fits right in to the Provo Motiff.

exactly. down here, people love the old school 90's rap music. that and country/pop music. those 2 genres usually dominate the karaoke nights here in happy valley.

It's not anywhere near as much of an embarrassment to Utah ( I think that these two clowns could probably find people to pay money to see them perform anywhere) as it is that they are mining 20 year old retreads on stage. How hard-up are they that it is necessary to play Orem, Utah in 2009 to make a few bucks?

Having said that, the Eagles are playing Rio Tinto in May, and I'm thinking about buying tickets...

Why would it be? It is kind of cool.

I thought last time Vanilla Ice played in Utah he got his ass beat by a bunch of straight edgers. Maybe that's why he's choosing Orem over SLC.

I think its gonna be fun.

I thougt this would be aboy Chris Butters. That guy needs to get stuck in a coma by natural means,

LOL thats Provo/Orem for you. Tons of cats I knew that went to zoob town loved that 80's early 90's rap. hahahaha, I think it would be cool to go see those two do their ancient history thing. I remember diggin their tunes when I was in elementary school lol. I would def go see them if I was still in Utah...

and only happy valley would consider that "old school 90s rap."

Please never say that again. You make Sir Mix A Lot look like Tupac saying stuff like that.

Sir Mix A Lot is underrated.

WOW! You guys are lucky!

lol

back in my day, when i was attending grammar school, (both ways in the snow, mind you) we studied the counties of utah. we chanted them all in rhythm snapping our fingers. and the only lines i remember from that 4th grade year was "29 counties make this state........rap, rap, utah rap, yeah!"

i was having trouble thinking of a genre for those kind of entertainers, so i went with the default setting. what is it called now-a-days, sonny? ar-by's or hip-hop-anonymous?

wouldn't it be ironic if during their "concert," they both went with their newer stuff?

I wonder if they sold out, but i found this video on youtube!
