Of wind and cabs
While Chicago blues ambassador Buddy Guy played slow, sticky blues in the midday heat, Zilker Park turned into a Windy City of its own, with gusts measuring an estimated 20 mph. The parched fields turned into a dust bowl. It was a bad day for contact lenses.
On hearing that cab drivers were gouging desperate concertgoers, festival promoter Charlie Jones said, “That really (ticks) me off. We meet with all the cab companies and work on the situation, but there are always going to be rebels that we have no control over.”
