Welcome to a new feature here at Pretty War STL. Love 'em or Hate 'em, Celebrity Sightings will focus on those we've come to recognize as local personalities in the STL.
Here we have local moptop, Beatle Bob getting ready to order a Del Combo Burrito before a show. The next time you see Beatle Bob, tell him you saw him on Pretty War STL...

Fair St. Louis Main Stage Lineup

Well it's that time of year where the suspense comes to an end and the chosen musical acts for the mainstage of Fair St. Louis are announced. This year they tried something new, and allowed us to vote for who we, the public, most wanted to shake our fanny packs to. I can't say that there was a whole lot to choose from, but let's just say that my choices weren't picked. We get Raven and The Black Eyed Peas on July 2nd, The Four Tops and Switchfoot on July 3rd, and be ready to pack some heat for the Nuge on the 4th, who I'm sure will bring out the most "patriotic" among us! He is appearing before the Oak Ridge Boys who will most likely take us into the fireworks grand finale with Elvira. Yeehaw!!
