Here's my (heretical) take--if you've never seen Oakie, he's playing in your hometown, & you're thinking about going, by all means, go.
My theory on most things is they're worth doing once, if only to formulate your own slant. Quoting the butthole surfers by way of Orbital: "it's better to regret something you have done than regret something you haven't done."
Let's put it this way--if you think Oakie will be bad (based on what Screen & daydreamer have said) you can only be pleasantly surprised on the upside. & if he is just as bad as they say, you, too, can join the legion of Oakie bashers, & cite examples of his suck-hood from personal experience.
Oakie brings out alot of less tranceaddict, more general fans. Which is good, cause it's easier to talk people into going, who might like Oakie, then want to go to more electronic shows with you in the future...so the path to the dark side begins....
If this wasn't the night before Nu-NRG in Austin, I probably would be going to this myself. (The end of the Orbital quote "& if you see your mother this weekend...be sure to tell her.. SATAN.")
