I think its a terrible idea for Bonnaroo to be televised on TV. I think it should be closed to the corporate media and to stay out of music festivals like this. Its already too commericalized as it is. And also they tried a rapper in the lineup in like Kanye which even if you weren’t there knows he sucked. I am so thankful I didn’t make it to his show that night. Bonnaroo as any fellow “Roo’er” knows is canjun for “Good Time”. How are you supposed to have a good time at the festival if you’re sitting your ass on the couch. A festival like this should be experienced in person which I found out to be the most Insanely Righteous thing I have experienced.
