Long Nights and Early Mornings- Bonnaroo 2008
Though another trip into the home of Jack Daniels and Andrew Jackson may have come to an end, certainly a few lessons had to be learned other then the fact that my fake Southern accent needs a little less Forrest Gump and a little more Nashville. Here are a few quick tidbits I picked up sometime after learning that you could bbq buttered Oreos.
Kanye: Moving to a late night set so that you can do a glow in the dark show is not the best idea if you wait until sunrise to start.
Pearl Jam: The perfect festival headliner feeding non-stop energy to the crowd. As long as Eddie Vedder continues to be angry, in love, or broken hearted, I’ll listen just like it was 1991.
Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings: Who knew James Brown could be out James Browned in the same place he performed two years prior?
My Morning Jacket: Covering the Velvets “Oh! Sweet Nuthing” in what Jim James refers to as the “golden rain” could be perfection.
Raconteurs: Jack White somehow is able to simultaneously front two powerhouse bands that can equally make 700 acres of damp dirt vibrate.
Sigur Ros: These guys might prove that aural beauty may be stockpiled somewhere around Reykjavík
Amazing clips from the Bonnaroo simulcast (and the clips from someone screaming “Even Flow” into a camera phone) are beginning to circulate on YouTube. Here are a few...The entire sets of the Raconteurs, Sigur Ros, Metallica, Cat Power, and much more can be found here at Glide Magazine.
Sigur Ros- Hoppípolla
Raconteurs- Blue Veins
Cat Power- Aretha Sing One for Me

Jack White is the only man I know that can bring me to tears without breaking my heart.
