I really love some of these quotes. Just a few that resonated with me:
"The world of “jam bands” is actually pretty elastic.... It often is open to interpretation. We need to keep the flame and exponents of this world alive in the minds of our audience."
"When the audience realizes they are guests, it goes a long way."
"Bonnaroo is an extension of the broadness of music people have access to, We try to be the filter, to put a little bit of focus or glue on bands that give live performances, that have grass roots followings, and that are true artists. We have our ear to the ground as much as possible as much as one could. "

Outstanding interview, and Superfly is absolutely correct about how locals feel. I know that I am very proud to have Bonnaroo here. It is one of the "Top 50 Moments that Changed Rock N' Roll" according to Rolling Stones Magazine. It has put my small little Tennessee town on the map! Combined with Nashville, Bonnaroo has helped Manchester to make the Middle Tennessee area a mecca for music not just with country music, but with music of all genres.
I hope to see the day that Superfly and A.C. Entertainment will set-up permanent headquarters of some kind here. Now that Superfly owns the property and has more of a permanent presence in our town, hopefully it will help stimulate progress and growth which I have longed to see for Manchester.
I don't know why Superfly chose Manchester for their music festival or how many other towns and cities were being looked at, but I am really proud and happy to have them here! We are very lucky to have Bonnaroo with us!
Good Times!
By the way, I seen where Jack Johnson is featured on the July 2008 issue of Men's Journal. He offers advice on staying mellow! Very cool read! My sister-in-law is looking forward to seeing him the most this year.
I can't wait for june~!~
