Emoney serves more of a purpose than any of you, especially Nate, whose incessant, garbled ramblings are so mindless and pointless that I get depressed just seeing them.
Ten I See is definitely referencing Tennessee, and I think "farm heathen" is a term he coined for "bonnaroo regular," although I could be wrong on that one.
Heathen is usually someone who is abhorred
Like Kanye
When I think heathen I think more uncivilized and hedonistic, which could be a bittersweet way of referring to a roo junkie. Guess it could make sense to refer to someone despised by the farm.
red white and blue are all featured In Rainbows. Just sayin'.
Nothing "young" about Radiohead though, they're all in their late 30s/early 40s, have been a successful act for over a decade, and the Ten I See doesn't fit at all.
I wasnt thinking about Radiohead's palate being young, but rather the red, white and blue being a part of their youngest piece.
Heathen: Paganism (from Latin paganus, meaning "country dweller", "rustic") is a blanket term, typically used to refer to polytheistic religious traditions.

the farm heathen disguised among giants kind of makes me feel like its some sort of 'supergroup' a band full of 'giants' and this bonnaroo vet(farm heathen) may not get a lot of recognition in the group.
now i have no idea who this may be, but it was i got out of it.
The "only Ten I see" part doesnt make me think its someone from Tennessee, but rather I think Gary just put it like that to be cute. I think that rather, it could be someone who came up in the early days who was often compared with the big grunge acts, but its not Pearl Jam, because "a farm heathen disguised among giants" is the only Ten he sees.
A mouse can be 'disguised among giants'. They have played Roo before (farm, Ten I see references) Isaac Brock is an atheist (heathen=a person who does not acknowledge your god) Isaac Brock is American (red white and blue)
"Young" palette? Something in the Neil Young repertoire?
I highly doubt that they would put the word "Young" in a clue for "Neil Young"......that seems a bit easy.
I think, at this point, the clues are so expected to be convoluted that using the artists name in the clue subtly would be the easiest way to throw us on the wrong track, because they know everyone would say "thats way too easy." That's what I'd do if I was trying to throw you guys off, I would make the clue really really straightforward and obvious, because no one would ever guess it.
This isn't me saying I think it's Neil, BTW. Not yet, at least. Just saying we shouldn't throw anything out because it's "too easy."

Maybe the "Ten I See" really has nothing to do with Tennessee. It seems really easy because everyone's heard that pickup line. Maybe it's a 10-person group, like Edward Sharpe. Can't make the rest of it fit, yet.

This train of thought makes me think Wanda Jackson with Jack White. Although the "young palette" doesn't make sense with the clue. Red, WHITE, and Blue does (although not subtle).
