The Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival was held on June 11-14th this year. Your friends "On the Border" are big fans of Bonnaroo, and attended the festival. Bonnaroo may not be everyone's idea of multicultural, but there can be no doubt that it is counter-cultural.
The big hit on Thursday was Passion Pit, a fun, dancy band from Cambridge, Massachutes. Late night dance parties are always fun, and Passion Pit did not disappoint. Friday was a big day for the "urban" scene, with Santigold, Beastie Boys, and Public Enemy. Saturday started (for us)with indie stars Of Monteal, and alternative legend Elvis Costello. Sunday starred hiphop superstar Snoop Dogg. Headlining this year's festival was Bruce Springsteen, and he joined Phish on stage Sunday night to top off the weekend. Bonnaroo seems to be growing every year. What started out as a jam band festival has grown to include all types of music, from rock and reggae to indie and soul. It is possibly the best festival on this side of the Atlantic.

Wow, This sounds really good. I would love to see Bruce and the Beastie Boys. I think my girls really like Of Montreal, which would be cool, and I've seen Elvis Costello, and he's pretty good, too (but no comparison to the real Elvis). I wish I were young enough to have the stamina for these types of concerts. Sounds good!
