Bonnaroo blues

Posted Wednesday, June 9, 2010, at 11:38 AM

Talking to Brad Shultz of Cage the Elephant at last year's 'Roo.

I won't be going to Bonnaroo this year and I can't decide whether I'm upset about that or not. Part of me really, really wants to go -- I'm more interested in John Prine than the Flaming Lips, but I'd like to see both. But part of me is kind of relieved I don't have to go. I've been fighting health issues for the last two weeks and the idea of sitting in the heat and dust of the venues was not appealing.

I will miss the music and the fun and the crazy carnival atmosphere I enjoyed so much last year.

Those of you who are going, be safe and have a great time and email me your pics and blogs so I can live it vicariously! We'd love to have a photo page with your Bonnaroo memories. in next week's Life & Leisure. (G-rated, please. I've been there and you know what I'm talking about!)

Day 1 (for us) was great. Although I would certainly say that Bonnaroo isn't really as much fun for someone like me that HATES having other people touch me. Still fun though. Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers were great, so was the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. I'll send some pics in after the shows on Sunday. VERY interesting people, but I didn't get the opportunity for any non G-rated pictures...yet. I have to get certain smells out of my clothes (and nose) now. If you've been there, then you know what I'm talking about.
