This years Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in western Tennesee located right between Nashville and Chattanooga has raised some concern? shall i say? from the many "hippies" that like to attend the festival.
When the festival first began way back in 2002 most of the bands their were "jam bands". Bands that play improvived music. Bands such as Trey Anastatio, Widespread Panic, Ben Harper, The String Cheese Incedent, Phil Lesh, moe., Keller Williams, The Disco Biscuits, North Mississippi Allstars, Les Claypool, and Umphrees McGee. Theres 11 jam bands in that lineup that all in all had 50 bands. Now lets take a look at this years.
This years lineup has ninety or so bands and has 6! jam bands! 6! out of ninety bands!. Are you kidding me! This festival to me began as a cool low key jam band festival and has now all of the sudden turned more mainstream so they can draw some new crowds. I like that the lineup is more well rounded and has different kinds of music in there. Jay Z's going to rock and Stevie Wonders gonna drop the funk so hard that the tents blow away, but Kings of Leon headlining because the have 1 good song! That shits dumb. Half of the bands I have never even heard of before and I have watched the videos of the bands most of them are "MAD GAY BRO". I'm going just because many more of my friends are going this year and it's gonna be a good time chilling with the dudes. But please add some more bands that ROCK, and not have bands that have a pretty voice or look pretty on stage.http://bonnaroo.com/artists/2010.aspx check it out and see what im talking about.
