Grammy Award-winning pop/R&B singer Cee Lo Green performs during the second night of the 2013 Riverbend Festival on the Coca-Cola Stage.

JUNE 7-15 CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE

Poll

Should Riverbend have booked Cee Lo?

In the entertainment industry, "ban" is a four-letter word.

After a headlining performance Saturday that started late and included foul language in violation of a previous agreement between Cee Lo Green and Riverbend organizers, the Grammy Award-winning artist probably won't be asked to return to the festival, but he has not been officially banned, said talent and production coordinator Joe "Dixie" Fuller.

"I never used the b-word," Fuller said Monday in contradiction to language used in weekend media coverage describing organizers' reaction to Green's performance.

"I've been in this business for a long time, and banning somebody from coming back to Chattanooga to play music would be the most stupid thing I've ever heard in my life," he added. "There's no way you'd hear those words come out of my mouth."

In a Monday story, Fuller told the Times Free Press that he responded to "very, very, very many disgruntled emails" about the singer's behavior, which reportedly included more profanity than organizers expected based on discussions they had with Green's management before to his appearance.

Organizers said they were disappointed with some elements of Green's performance, which began well after the scheduled start time of 9:30 p.m. and reportedly included the artist drinking on stage. He also chose to bare more of himself than organizers expected.
