Sasquatch has never been much of a country fan, but Monsieur Larue made me a believer last night when he rolled in to campus like a glorious red clay tidal wave as strong as the Oklahoma backbone. The concert, presented by OU Summer Session, the Interfraternity Council and the Union Programming Board, drew 2,500 students to the East Lawn of the Oklahoma union to soak up the sounds of the Oklahoma Native and Red Dirt Country icon. Fellow Oklahomans and country music rising stars, The Lower 40, opened the night before Larue and his Arsenal played an amazing one hour and 45 minute set that rose the temperature of the already sweltering July night. Larue ended the show with one of his most popular hits and certainly most beloved by Normanites, “Oklahoma Breakdown,” written by the incomparable musician and Norman resident Mike Hosty.
Sasquatch would like to say thanks to Stoney Larue and the Arsenal, The Lower 40, all of the Sooners who rolled out the show and OU Summer Session for organizing this tremendous music event. Summers on campus will certainly never be the same again.
