"It's hard to say whether seeing Kellz backed by Jim James and his lion's mane hairdo or Billy Idol rocking out next to John Oates and his soul patch was weirder to watch. Let's just say both were beautifully bizarre sights to behold."

A lot of people knowing something doesn't necessarily mean that it is going to make it to the internet. At my company there are a group of us that know nearly everything, we make the decisions, we invest the money, we let people know what we are up to when it serves us, not them. Our customers and competitors would like a heads up on inside information, they ask me for "the scoop" all the time and never get it until the time is right. To think that someone that already knows an "inside" piece of information somehow feels compelled to release that information to a group of fans on a message board is probably misguided. They would potentially put their job at risk and/or alienate their co-workers if they get caught and for what? Being revered by a bunch of fan-boys that you are never going to meet. I can imagine a scenario where 100 people know the details and keep that information to themselves. I struggle to think of a reason why someone in the know at AC would put that on the line because we act like a bunch of impatient dbags.

So, lets imagine U2 are performing a Spider man song at the tonys. It would be great publicity for the failing musical. That would mean at least 1 or 2 days of rehearsals wouldn't it?

Because it's been said that U2 wouldn't have a weeks gap with no shows just for the Tony awards(going back a couple pages to actual U2 discussion), as it is just one night. But a weeks gap makes more sense if you factor in travel and rehearsals.

i remember when BD leaked the entire lineup to us about 3 years ago, maybe? So to get on this guys ass about not giving you his information until it becomes public information, come on? Hasn't he earned enough not to get attacked.
I'm glad to hear that U2 won't be here.
(I tried to get the gist of the entire conversation)

He found the lineup online a night early from what I understand. So its not that he got it from sources or anything.
Last night when the bonnaroo website started acting up I knew they must be in the process of updating the website for the artist announcement, so I tried a few different URLs to see if anything worked . . . when I typed in www.bonnaroo.com/artists, a clearly unfinished website came up. I've been checking it every hour waiting for an update and about twenty minutes ago it came . . .

bonnaroo detective doesn't know shit....he was just as arrogant and condescending 2 years ago when he was positive he solved a clue that he though was peter paul and bjorn. he repeatedly told me how ridiculous i sounded for saying that clue was for snoop dogg, which it ended up being. he has no inside info. he was able to locate a webpage that hadn't been loaded to the bonnaroo site a few years back, and posted it. well done, but that doesnt give him inside sources.
and lol at u2 not signing on bonnaroo because maybe a play they did the music for is being nominated for the tonys..if one of the songs was performed, it seems to me much more likely that the nominated actors perform it like from the stage production. its the tonys not the grammys.

It can go both ways at the Tonys. Elton John actually performed a song from Billy Elliot one year. That being said, I don't know how much rehearsal they'd need or whether it'd affect anything one way or the other regarding them and Bonnaroo....
