TDWH: Dimebag Darrell’s last visit, Limp Bizkit and yogurt enemas - Weekender 24/7	Weekender 24/7
Highlights of Weekenders of five, 10 and 15 years ago  TDWH, which stands for “This Date in Weekender History,” is my sad attempt to emulate cool text-messaging slang.	Oct. 29, 2004
 Wurstfest: A sentence in our preview of the New Braunfels German-sausage fest nearly brought tears to my eyes. “For me, Wurstfest doesn’t officially start until I have one of the Bracken Fire Department’s potato pancakes,” said Rachel Williams, who has visited the festival for the last five years. Sniff. The Bracken VFD and the Wurstfest Association had a falling-out a few years ago, and they now have their own festival in Garden Ridge.	 Sinbad at Lila Cockrell: The actor and standup comic told staff writer Hector Saldaña that clean comedy can be edgy, too. “I was a big fan of (Lenny Bruce),” Sinbad said. “This is the thing about Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor and George Carlin and Redd Foxx, people that went that route. They believed in their convictions. They weren’t cussing just to cuss. It was a time in America when it was uptight. They were pushing the uptightness of America. The thing that makes them different from a comic now, who cusses, they weren’t rewarded for cussing. As a matter of fact, it was detrimental for their careers. I mean Lenny and Richard would get arrested onstage.
Some very interesting concerts, especially 10 years after the fact:	 Family Values Tour ’99: Remember when rap-rock ruled the world, and Limp Bizkit was its king? This second package of rap-rock, metal metal and hip-hop played the Alamodome minus Korn, its founding band, which was in the studio and couldn’t shake loose. But Fred Durst’s Limp Bizkit was clearly enough starpower for a lineup that also included Primus, Buckethead, Method Man & Redman, Inspectah Deck, Filter and some new band Limp Bizkit had discovered called Staind. Staff writer Hector Saldaña applied a dose of perspective:
ALSO OPENING: “Sugar Town,” a tale of social climbing and backstabbing in L.A.; the cast included Duran Duran’s John Taylor. And a remake of the 1958 Vincent Price horror flick “House on Haunted Hill.” Oct. 28, 1994
ALSO OPENING: “Stargate,” the commercial breakthrough from director Roland Emmerich (“Independence Day,” “Godzilla,” The Day After Tomorrow” and the upcoming “2012”), which at the time was noteworthy for being the first post “Crying Game” role for Jaye Davidson. And “The Road to Wellville,” the turn-of-the-20th-century comedy about John Harvey Kellogg (Anthony Hopkins), a nutty sanitarium founder and health-food eccentric who specialized in colonic therapy. Which means clients like William Lightbody (Matthew Broderick) routinely had their asses packed with yogurt. It wasn’t screened in advance for critics, but I remember a few liked it, including Roger Ebert, who never lived it down. I’ve seen bits of it on cable, and there are some memorable quotes. Like when Lightbody told Kellogg, “I can’t eat 15 gallons of yogurt!,” to which Kellogg replied, “Oh, no, it’s not going in that end, Mr. Lightbody.” Or when another patient (John Cusack) cracked, “With friends like you, who needs enemas?” (rimshot!)
