Correction: This is not a "grass roots campaign" it is well-organized by Citizens for Amphitheater Awareness, Inc, headed by Jan Miller. These are the same people who spent over $50k fighting the amphitheater at Met park. They sued the city to stop that project. For this "controversy" they have printed up flyers and passed out T-shirts. it's a well-run, well-funded, religiously-motivated censorship campaign. Their noise complaints are phony. I and a member of the city council drove around St Nicholas on Saturday and Sunday during the concert and could not hear the music. GInny Myrick and others have admitted that they really only object to the fact that this is rock music. They don;t actually have a problem with noise since they enjoy the sounds of Jaguars and Bishop Kenney football games, mosnter truck shows, baseball games, Navy flyovers, and the Fair. Their only target is the privately-run rock concerts at Met Park. Many of the people compalaining are motivated by their religion. They seem to feel that this music is of the devil and should be banned. Contact the Jax city council. go to coj.net for the info. Show up at the next meetin on May 14th, 2013 and speak. Let's let them know we mean business!
