tried to finish this up last night, but got too wrapped up in the UVA College World Series baseball game...what a heartbreaker! Ah well, they had a great, historic season nonetheless...
thinking back yesterday, I figured out my Top 10 highlights of Bonnaroo '09 that I actually witnessed (as opposed to all the cool things I heard about later and missed)
in no particular order...
--being sidestage for Phish and Bruce Springsteen
--Springsteen doing "Santa Claus is Coming to Town"
--Elvis Costello being joined by Jenny Lewis & band for "What's So Funny 'Bout Peace Love & Understanding"
--Snoop Dogg bringing out Erykah Badu for a cover of Slick Rick's "Lodi Dodi"
--artists including David Byrne (with bicycle), Wilco (the whole band) & Jenny Lewis walking right past me in the radio compound backstage area
--being sidestage for Band of Horses and introducing myself to Chicago radio legends Norm & Marty
--sitting in on a hilarious press conference with Tift Merritt, Alejandro Escovedo, Elvis Perkins, and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog
--the entire Africa Calling lineup on Friday at The Other Tent
--having fun being live on-air Sunday afternoon playing freshly recorded backstage songs
--seeing awesome stuff (The Features & Ted Leo just to name 2) up close either in the Troo Music Lounge (thanks to Elizabeth for capturing the Sons of Bill footage while I was on the air!) or Sonic Stage
more later...
