I hope the Bacon Brothers do not leave their diesel tour bus idling behind the Colonial Theater for the entire duration of the show like they did several years ago. It is non-sensical to be performing a concert to raise money and awareness for environmental causes, and to have a bus idling for several hours outside while they perform!
