I'm pretty sure that I would listen to just about anything at Bonnaroo and enjoy it... ok just about anything but the Nightwatchmen (plug in Morello for the love of god, PLUG IN)... we missed WSP last year, just for the sake of getting out before 2 am since I had to work the next day ... I'm not a big jam band fan, we caught Clutch, Ziggy, Ben Harper, Tool, the White Stripes, part of Rod y Gab, and Franti and Spearhead... it was a nice mix but there were a ton of shows I wish we would have had the energy to see. Regardless of who headlines this year I'm already looking forward to the opportunity to experience such an eclectic mix of music. I might even make it to the silent disco for some dance music provided I don't pass out from all the dust like last year...

--- ok, i thought it was entertaining going back and forth with him... for about a minute... how could someone say stuff like this to a stranger???
his last post (addressing me directly in the opening line):
I like you Jennifer, I'd let you come over to my house and f#ck my sister.
Let's say for arguments' sake that I don't care about the countless product endorsement tents (because I really don't), and that I also have good stories from Bonnaroo (ask folks about the time I procured a staff badge from a drunk piece of trash that was groping hippie girls and whose boyfriends were too big of p#ssies to do anything about it, and who was about 3 seconds from getting the sh#t kicked out of him when security did the job). If Bonnaroo keeps trying to get bigger and bigger acts, the thing is going to spin out of control. They're on that path, and they're another hot dry weekend away from shit burning and people getting stomped all over the place.
That's a great attitude...we should all feel sorry for people who take pleasure in making others miserable. They never get last laugh!
Hopefully RedVelvet will have a chance to meet you all at Bonnaroo. She isn't one of the passed-out-BMW-SUV-driving-druggies that Andres kept referring to in his sorry posts.

Um, I sort of forgot to mention what happened last weekend...let's just say it was a Suburu, she's grounded and it won't happen again.
And she should have a new blog or two up this weekend. I got a new lock for the liquor cabinet so she won't have a hangover for once.

I didn't think Roo was a giant Ad space. They have sponsers but it's not GIANT ADs to the left of me GIANT ADs to the right. None of the stages are called the "Bud Light What stage" or some nonsense. Riverbend, the local outdoor concert venue, has ads everywhere.
Meh he's a weiner.
Not to nit-pick....
Tru Music lounge?
AT&T Blue Room?
Still, I agree. 'Roo is about the whole thing, man - but mostly the music. It IS thousands of people getting high on a farm for a few days...but, well...they are there because that is where the music is.

but - remember - there are no drugks at Bonnaroo - it is a bunch of people who love life and music and friends!
I think Bonnaroo is the epitome of the phrase "best of both worlds." Though the concentrations of the various genres change, it's always GOOD. There are just as many mediocre or straight up bad jam bands as there are bad jam bands. Just because a person doesn't like the kinds of music that dominate the festival, almost all of them are good (ok, there have been some awful ones, but no one's perfect). I think thats really what sets Bonnaroo above other American festivals.
"I want you to notice When I'm not around You're so fücking special I wish I was special But I'm a creep I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here" -Radiohead
“Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” -Benjamin Franklin
What makes Bonnaroo special for me is experiencing new bands. Not all one genre, one style. Yes, there are well known peeps, but the exposure to new artists makes this show great! ;D
