Bonaroo…

Travel back with me, will you, to 2003-ish. Sitting in the publishing house talking to one of the reps about a Jam festival she was heading to that weekend. I think names like OAR and such were passed around. Ah, Bonaroo, the giant music festival in the west. How you tempted me for years and yet I still never made it to you Elysian-esque Fields.

I wake up this morning to this…article about Metallica and Chris Rock opening this year’s festival. WTF? I’m not a big “WTF” person, but this deserves a big, giant expletive.

In a bit in his set about Prozac and other medications, Rock chastised the crowd, who he said was likely on “performance-enhancing drugs.”

“You all should be ashamed of yourselves for taking antidepressants to see a comedian,” joked Rock. “I am an antidepressant!”

Yeah….about that antidepressant. Sad face. David says “there’s always Coachella, but with a line up being led by Prince, I think I’ll pass.
