The San Diego Union Tribune's Fair Coverage is Glorious & Mysterious

Hey look I'm a front page story in the San Diego Union Tribune

I understand that the "theme" of the San Diego County Fair this year is "Music is good" or equivalent. I know that the San Diego Union Tribune will "cover" the fair every year: An overview piece at the beginning of the summer ("What's new in fair food") with a couple of American Idol inspired concert reviews. ("Karla Peterson about Kelly Clarkson, "Kelly Clarkson is talented!")

But how to explain their continuing series of in depth features about the music situation at the fair? Yesterday: Reggae banned at the fair, people upset. Today: Budding musicians find a rockin' role at the fair

All I have to say is: As long as their role can accurately described as "rockin'" those kids are doing all right.

Additionally, I appreciate that the San Diego Union Tribune employs headline writers that can unabashedly use the word "rockin'" in a head line. Dude, are you a million years old? Here's a marketing tie in for that headline: Adult diapers. You know those kids with their twitter- they love urban slang. Seriously though, do they pay someone to write headlines at the Union Tribune, or are they being written by a computer in Dallas?
