[JP] KENNEDYS MAY NEWSLETTER: NY/PA/RI/NJ/CT/VA/MD 10 [Kennedylst@aol.com]

Subject: [JP] KENNEDYS MAY NEWSLETTER: NY/PA/RI/NJ/CT/VA/MD 10
Welcome to The Kennedys' E-Newsletter for May 2003!
Glad to have you along on the road trip!
IN THIS ISSUE:
1) Movie plug...A Mighty Wind! Spinal Tap for the folk generation!
2) Kennedys May touring schedule
3) Find radio station in your area that plays The Kennedys music
4) Mercantile
1) A MIGHTY WIND! WE LOVE THIS MOVIE!
Haven't seen "A Mighty Wind" yet? Run to the theater right now. It's the
awesomely hilarious new movie directed by Christopher Guest ("Waiting For
Guffman," "Best In Show"), and it pokes gentle fun at a group of
Hootenanny-style 60s-era folk acts who reunite for a show to pays tribute to
their recently deceased manager. This movie provides continuous belly laughs
for all, but will be especially appreciated by folk musicians and folk fans
alike, to whom many subtle "inside" jokes are directed. Recently voted
"Kennedys favorite movie of the year, so far"!
