yeah.. I was attempting to be humorous. In all truth, 90% of the people at roo 2011 wouldn't have been to roo 08 and probably don't even know about the kanye incident. But there would be a small minority, and if there was some bottle throwing, etc, it wouldn't surprise me

Bored,Stoned and thought..why don't they make the 10th year all filled with past performers. And I came up with this Phish * Neil Young * Further * My Morning Jacket*Jack Johnson * Ben Harper *The Black Crowes* Primus * White Stripes * The Allman Brother Band * Eddie Vedder solo * The Roots * Robert Randolph*311 * MGMT *The Derek Trucks Band* Cat Power * Jimmy Buffet *The String Cheese incident* Wolfmother * Slightly Stoopid * moe.*Fleet Foxes * O.A.R. * Yonder Mountain String Band * Cypress Hill*Ghostland Observatory* Mastadon * Herbie Hancock * Lez Zeppelin * Cut Chemist * Galactic *Lucero*Portugal. The Man *The Delta Spirit*Cage the Elephant *World Party*RJD2* Top 100 movies of the last 10 years in the cinema
While I'd love, love, LOVE fer The Black Crowes to return ta 'Roo (especially since I missed them at 'Roo '05) I doubt it'll happen this year with their "indefinite" hiatus startin' at the end of this year. I'll cross my fingers though fer a Chris Robinson solo project!
His new music has been outstanding, he sounds reinvigorated and all signs point to his new album as being something that will hold up well with CD, LR, and Grad. Obviously he screwed up last time, everyone knows that. But Bonnaroo is about positivity and having a good time, and it would be good form to smooth it over with him and bring him back. In recent interviews he's said that he now feels bad for the way he acted years ago, not specifically about Bonnaroo but about the self-centeredness overall. He's said that he now knows it's about the fans first and foremost and he's trying to make music that will reflect that.
If you're still THAT pissed about it, even though it will be THREE years later at Bonnaroo X, then why not just watch someone else? I'm pretty sure you there'll be something else for you to do. I'm also pretty sure that if he were to play again people would go watch and his performance would be a good one.
The reason you don't give a second chance is that the money at Roo is not endless. If you pay someone like Kayne then it means that cash is not available for actual artists who respect the audience and Roo.
Not to mention the disrespect that he showed other artists and the fans by being in Atlanta at a party when he should have been on the damn farm.
BTW they use the same porta johns year after year. This year we found some of the ones that had FUCK KANYE spray painted on them. But they weren't in order so it was like a scavenger hunt.

why do we keep giving all of these douche bags second chances? Kanye,Lindsay,Paris,Axel..they do the same thing over and over again and when they get there 2nd,3rd,4th chances they still pull the same crap because they know they will always get "another chance". The guy is a douche, always has always will be, plenty of hip hop acts out there and the $ can be better spent...moving on
If Kanye were to ever return, it'd have to be an unanounced guest spot, so noone would have a chance to bitch about it in the months leading, and he could then just maybe redeem himself in some eyes.

That's an interesting idea, Bishop. That would be a pretty damn big unannounced guest, and I think the surprise show element might actually get people excited instead of bitter at him...although, there would probably still be a lot of bitterness from Roo vets. And rightfully so.
Kanye made a guest appearance during Jay-Z's set at Isle of Wight the night before Bonnaroo, so I guess the idea is possible.
Not gonna lie, I was expecting it to happen after I heard that morning he came out the night before.
He also came out with Jay-Z at the MSG show last year and (I believe) at one point during the Eminem/Jay-Z shows this year.
Rap artists are known for bringing out a lot of guests, in all honesty, considering so many big rap songs have guests on them in the first place. Not sure who would play Bonnaroo in the future that Kanye is involved with enough to come out with, but I wouldn't rule it out.
In recent interviews he's said that he now feels bad for the way he acted years ago, not specifically about Bonnaroo but about the self-centeredness overall. He's said that he now knows it's about the fans first and foremost and he's trying to make music that will reflect that.
Hasn't he mentioned about 1,000x that he "was" a jerk and is trying to better himself, only to turn around and do it again. As I have said, it wasn't just Roo. He has had countless incidents like the famous Taylor Swift moment and lots of ridiculous tweets as of late. Not to mention, does any body even remember his George Bush Katrina comment. Even if you agreed with him that was still incredibly un-classy

He hasn't really done anything jerk-like since the Swift thing. And to be fair his tweets are no more ridiculous than Lady Gaga. Being larger than life is part of his persona.
The only thing better than Kanye's tweets are predicting Kanye's tweets. It was already said, but Aziz's are always hilarious.
And because it is the 10th anniversary, I can see some returning artists. Maybe even a returning headliner: Phish (Trey Anastasio), Further (Phil Lesh and Friends). And also Ben Harper, because I really want to see him live.

I was frankly shocked to have not seen Further on the lineup this year. Unless there is actually some bad blood between Phil and AC, this is a likely performer.

Why can't we all just agree to be happy with Radiohead as the big return? And Phil Lesh can't play at bonnaroo again unless he gets to play opposite someone who's ego stands taller than Mt Everest once again.
Seriously though, Phil can't have been happy about the roo 08 situation. Which do you think he was more mad about? Getting pushed offstage early, or the fact that there were more people standing infront of the what stage throwing shit and chanting obscenities than watching his concert? Just sayin.
