Bonnaroo Wishlist: for Roo to lose the corporate agenda(F.U.! CHase Card!)
Because who wants Bonnaroo to make any money? Maybe we'll get lucky and they won't be able to afford to host Bonnaroo next year at all. Wouldn't that be awesome?
On that note, screw all corporations, because who wants jobs?
If you don't like the Chase tent, don't go to the Chase tent. If you don't like corporations, move to China.

Dalven, Really?! Where do I start. First off, I noticed your post on this thread seem to make jokes/fun of other people's comments. which mean you post for shock value, "trying stir things up." So here goes it. First, China does not have any corporations? Really? Next, when/where did I damn all corporations? I damn Chase. The way you defend them, you must be employed by them. I have no problems with businesses doing what they can to make money. I have a problem with a company having to get a govt. bailout, my money, your money, our money, and then turn right around and lower my available credit at the same time raising interest rates on my credit card. I have a big problem with being screwed, when I do not ask for it. Next, Who is Bonnaroo you speak of? Do you mean Superfly and AC entertainment. Yes they deserve to make a buck, which comes from the $250 I paid to enjoy this event. Lets see the books, show me the numbers then I might have a soft spot for big corporations at my music festival. Last, Before you try to demean another on there simple wish, please edumacate yourself think about the situation before you type. By the way with all the information on this site and you spent your time reading about how "Another Lurker Introduces Himself". You spent you day reading everyone of these, favorite books, favorite songs, wish list comments. Brother get a life. Get out the house. Get off the WoW, you might meet a girl, or boy, depending on your style. You might even get laid!
Actually, I don't play WoW anymore. I read the last few posts on here cause I was bored. I don't post for shock value, I post for conversation. And I'm married, so of course I don't get laid.

garageland - I caught steve last year on the Townes tour. Amazing, and one of the best concerts I've ever seen! Stories, songs and an amazing songwriter.
Haha. Yeah I was at a show in Richmond last year before Roo. Steve is just an amazing storyteller. I could honestly sit and listen all day, even if he didn't pick up an instrument.
He's playing a few shows with Levon this summer. Hoping I get to catch that at Newport.
Either way... Welcome Aboard! Glad to have you around.
