So even though it’s time for Three Rivers Festival, summer’s biggest festival has to share a cover with Harry Potter & the Tother “big doin’s.” Now, if you’re under the age of, say, 40, maybe even 55, you might not think Order of the Phoenix Wednesday, July 12 • 7:30 pm a Diana Ross appearance at Fort Wayne’s Foellinger Theatre is a “big doin’.” But trust us. We’re older than you and we remember 1963, the year Free movies brought to you by: The Supremes were vying with The Beatles to be the biggest new thing in pop music. Yep, they were that big, and Diana Ross was the supreme Supreme. If the notion of experiencing some pop music history first-hand appeals to you, you won’t want to miss this show. Steve Penhollow fills you in on page 4. On page 5, Michele DeVinney follows up last week’s feature on the music of Three Rivers Festival with a more general take on all the other “big doin’s” at TRF. And then on page 6, Penhollow’s back with the British rocker who happens to own the rights to all those old Bad Company tunes that rocked radio in the 70s.
