We attended Blue Ridge Rock Fest in 2021 and we are here to talk about it. We take a look at how the bands and the fans alike worked together in order to give people a great experience and show the power of the rock and metal community. But we also look at the many things that went wrong (camping, parking, shuttles, gate security, the Golden Circle & VIP, ADA compliance, and more) to paint the picture at how disorganization put this festival in a very dangerous spot. We then look at the organizers of this festival, call out their lack of accountability, and finally issue a challenge to Jonathan Slye to come on the podcast and address all the issues so the 2022 version of the festival can go the way it is supposed to go.   Screwed By Blue Ridge Rock Festival FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/868993030399026   Follow us on social media!   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/msotdrocks   Twitter: https://twitter.com/msotd_rocks   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/msotd_rocks/   YouTube: https://yout
