RUDDOCK MUSIC FESTIVAL TO RETURN IN 2012
RUDDOCK, Louisiana — An area businessman has announced that the ghost town of Ruddock will be host to three days of sex, drugs, and “some decent local cover bands” in August of next year.
The town last hosted its music and arts festival in 1969, when Hurricane Cameltoe wiped through the area, leaving a trail of destroyed tents and stages in its wake. Thousands of inebriated festival goers remained oblivious to the widespread destruction, but the music continued for two more days.
“Ruddock experienced a rapid population decline after 1969,” says Jimmy “Jackass” Henderson, a Hammond pub owner who is responsible for the festival’s revival. “These days, it’s just a place where Tangi people drive down to to huff some glue, drop off their broken washing machine, or have unprotected sex. We want to bring people back, but keep all this other shit around.”
Jackass admits that he and his staff have their work cut out for them until August. “We have yet to agree on the pronunciation of ‘Ruddock,’” he told HAN.
Rumored headliners include Mayson Foster and the Bout It All-Stars, Keymonster, and The Roches, who played at Ruddock in 1969.
“I want everybody to come out and celebrate local music,” continued Jackass, “and don’t forget to tip your bartenders. We’ll take photos of you to put on our website. You’ll love it.”
