How to get stuck in your own karma

Yolanda Jones, who's one of the reporters covering the music fest for the CA, gives us this story:

Saturday afternoon as Puddle of Mud's $300,000 plus luxury tour bus attempted to pull into the Gosset Volkswagen stage at the Beale Street Music Fest, Puddle of Mud literally got stuck in a puddle of mud. Make that a field of mud.

Crews worked for 30 minutes to get the maroon-silver bus out of the goo by putting boards under the wheels, but finally had to bring in a forklift to give it that final push needed to be free from the mud.

Long-time festival-goers Pat and Kris Bass watched from backstage.
"Every year somebody gets stuck in the mud and this year it happens to be Puddle of Mud stuck in the mud," Pat Bass said. His wife, Kris agreed and added "It wouldn't be music fest if somebody didn't get stuck in the mud."
