This was posted by our own Clarkgriswald a few years ago. Sadly, I think it still hits home today. Just a little perspective as we all head to the fields of Bonnaroo for the time of our lives.
Clark - Is it time? … It was the The Grand Flurbiz!! The Grand Flurbiz - Almost! Clark - The fields of Tennessee await us! The Grand Flurbiz - Yes they do! Good times are almost upon us! Clark - I’m so fricking excited, I can hardly wait! The Grand Flurbiz - You know your one fortunate I HAVE NO DADDY! Clark in that there are other fields in June to consider. Clark - How so? What do you mean “fortunate” this is costing me a fortune, just how fortunate is that. Man! Are you kidding me I’ve paid my money! The Grand Flurbiz - I was thinking of the fields of Iraq, the cost being paid there and the cost of freedom. Clark - Wait a minute, I have some serious qualms about the cost of freedom in Iraq. It’s just possible that Lady Liberty has been blindfolded. This is a very thorny issue!! The Grand Flurbiz - Whoa! OK I get the picture, lets not get into this now, this is not the time to talk about the foreign policy , there’s always room for error no matter what position you take, and I seriously don’t want to come off bumming you out, so just do me a favor. Clark - Sure anything. The Grand Flurbiz - Just share some soul. Share your soul as much as you can no matter what the differences between you and the people you come in contact with at the fields of Bonnaroo, There are other fields that wont have the opportunity that weekend. Clark - Yeah, I know what you mean. The Grand Flurbiz - You know Clark music is love. And love by one definition is the act of touching souls. Clark - Well Bonnaroo surely has touched mine. Much music to you man! The Grand Flurbiz - Take care and peace be with you my friend. Clark - And may peace be with you.

I hung up the phone, and turned back toward the cellar thinking about luck and opportunity and how comes so easily to some folks and how it so unfortunately avoids many others, and how it’s always been that way. Yeah I thought, I must admit I’m one lucky bastard, to have this opportunity when others don’t. Confused with the thoughts in my head of how lucky I am to be rocking in the free world and to have the opportunity burn one down in their honor for those that don’t, I grasped the the doorknob to the cellar door and my thoughts turned to the people who have the opportunity to experience this event and how I never really believed in much, but I’ve believed in the spirit Bonnaroo produces. I think we know how fortunate all of us are. But then, I guess that’s the trouble with thinking.
Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent. - Victor Hugo
Music creates order out of chaos: for rhythm imposes unanimity upon the divergent, melody imposes continuity upon the disjointed, and harmony imposes compatibility upon the incongruous. - Yehudi Menuhin
"Chicago is known as the Windy City, and Montana is called the Big Sky State, so I think that we should somehow combine the two to create the ultimate kite-flying experience. "-Mitch Hedberg
