7pm eastern Thursday
....and we're BACK!!
after a 4-hour driving stint through a couple of midwestern monsoons, i'm back in the backseat...i think my fellow travelers were getting tired of my "radio scan" technique...lots of live Pearl Jam off Tad's iPod - had to wait til Jaclyn fell asleep otherwise that wouldn't have lasted too long...found a decent 80s station in Knoxville that went from Def Leppard to The Cars to Sheila E to Ratt...not bad! Then I couldn't pass up my childhood favs Kiss "Rock'n'Roll All Night"...and there was some Carter Family in there too (we are in Tennessee now after all). Not sure when the time change kicks in, but we're within a couple of hours now...should be able to tune in Radio Bonnaroo soon! They take over the area light rock station for the weekend and air Bonnaroo-related music and information for the crowd as they arrive at the festival and for the folks in the campsites. Jaclyn is excited about her Sunday morning shift on Radio Bonnaroo from 8 to 10am. If I'm awake at that ridiculous hour (after staying up til about 3am to see the start of Kanye West's set the night before), I might help out. In my other 2 trips to Bonnaroo, I have broadcasted back to my host station, but never to the campers of Bonnaroo.
oh, and it's been Spandau Ballet "True" and Guns'n'Roses "Sweet Child O' Mine" since Jaclyn took over, by the way...ok, she did find a really cool Etta James song on an oldies station and we rocked some Jackson 5 off Tad's iPod. Tad and Jaclyn's dance moves in the front seat are totally worth veering off onto the shoulder from time to time :) The singing...not so much.
more later after we land on Planet Bonnaroo!!
