Headlining the musical extravaganza is community activist Barry Summers, who will play the flute and perform an interpretive dance to “My Heart Will Go On,” a song that has become the group’s unofficial anthem and which was featured in the 1997 beloved film classic “Titanic.” An apt choice. The Titanic, you'll remember, sank like a bloody rock after a blind encounter with a massive immovable impediment.
Tickets are $10 and guests are encouraged to bring their own homemade protest signs.
"This song, and the way I perform it, has become emblematic of our case against the state and that mean old Tim Moffitt,” said Mr. Summers. “No matter what happens — no matter how much all this litigation costs taxpayers, no matter how much Asheville loses in court, no matter how much of a loser I am, my heart will go on.”
For a preview of the event, which starts at 6:00pm and will be held at Pack Square Park, take a wistful journey through Barry's pain. Here’s a video of Barry Summers performing his signature song:
(As much as it pains him, former Representative Moffitt could not be reached for comment.)
