On a cool, beautiful night at the Oyster Farm, Virginia Beach’s The Deloreans rocked the bayfront with a non-stop road-trip all through the 80’s. The band was a tidal wave of music covering everything from Billy Idol, Journey, the B 52’s and even bit of Grand Master Flash. Segueing from one song right into the next, the huge crowd of over 900 was never allowed to catch their breath, and was left with no choice but to keep on dancing.
Although the Deloreans were brilliant, the big story of the night was the rebirth of this parcel of land now known as the Oyster Farm. For many, and the huge crowd said it all, this was where we finally wanted Cape Charles to be. Over the last few months, the Town of Cape Charles has been exposed as runaway train driven imbeciles. The implementation of reverse angle parking to fix a non-existent parking problem, and the running off of star employee Smitty Dize just about sums it all up. The Town is a sham, and the people running it are vulgar charlatans.
The beauty and elegance of the Oyster Farm, not to mention the wonderfully committed and professional staff, created a stark contrast to the hard, stinking asphalt surrounding the Town Harbor and Shantyworld. I can’t tell you how wonderful it was to finally be totally loaded, standing barefoot in the grass, overlooking the Bay, and jammin’ to great music.
Thank you Mr. Occhifinto for bringing us The Deloreans, and for reminding us of what Cape Charles is supposed to be. Fun.
A Cape Charles Mirror Review – by Wayne Creed
It was truly a fantastic evening, thank you. We kept looking for a donation box because we would like to see more events like this one and know it is a costly undertaking. Next time please invite us to contribute.
Editor’s Note:It was written by Wayne Creed; bylines are automatically removed from the online post, since the person putting them into the system may appear to be given attribution, when they did not actually write the piece. The attribution is hard coded into the copy. In this case, the review went in very late, and the byline was missed by the bleary eyed staff. Thanks for the catch.
Wow! This article is unattributed, and I can only say that it smacks of the “Two Cents Worth” anonymous column formerly to be seen in the ESN. Such compliments for the concert! Such criticism for the Town! If a contribution to the Mirror can’t include a byline and includes such spurious comments about Town officials and businesses, it’s hard for readers to give it much value.
