It's Bumbershoot's 40th Anniversary, and We're Giving Away Tickets.

By Josh Feit August 19, 2010

But first you’ve got to answer a question.

In honor of Bumbershoot’s 40th Anniversary (September 4-6 at Seattle Center) we’re going to roll out a question a week, one for each decade that Bumbershoot has been bringing great acts to Seattle. (Dylan, Weezer, and Mary J. Blige are coming this year!)



Each week’s winner scores a pair of Standard Tickets (with guaranteed Mainstage access) to each day of the Festival!

Last week, we asked a '70s question. (Winner here
.)

Here's our '80s question. What does Ronald Reagan have to do with it?

Everything in the '80s—Michael Jackson, the Eurythmics, Family Ties, Miami Vice,
and Madonna---were really about Ronald Reagan.

Pick a song and write a brief essay, 200-300 words, on how it's really about Ronald Reagan.

Advice: Don't pick an obvious one like Springsteen's pro-Ronnie anthem "Born in the USA" (JUST KIDDING!). Pick something more compelling, like say, Liquid Sky.

Send essays to [email protected]—be sure to put “Bumbershoot contest” in the subject line.
