Best Use of Rainbow Motif: Jenny Lewis

Jenny Lewis has spoken to Rolling Stone about the "Graffiti Gram Parsons" rainbow pantsuit she rocks on the cover of her latest LP, Voyager, but she went full Lisa Frank for Newport's main stage, bringing together a purple-and-white ensemble, a rainbow guitar and little rainbow set decorations. Her set, meanwhile, had a little bit of everything, including beloved Rilo Kiley tracks like "Silver Lining," Rabbit Fur Coat songs like "Rise Up With Fists!!" and new additions like "Just One of the Guys." "This next one is produced by Ryan Adams, who is here somewhere. I can feel it," she said when introducing Voyager cut "Slippery Slopes." Her intuition was correct: He could be seen watching from the side stage. C.D.
