Ashley Capps says a little something about Kanye West
AC Entertainment’s Ashley Capps (a great guy, in case you don’t know him, and a huge asset to everything-arts in Knoxville) had this to say about the whole Kanye West Bonnaroo rant: “If you only knew the half of it…but my lips are sealed.”

Bonnaroo - Wish I were there
I was lucky enough to get to cover Bonnaroo for WBIR in 2005 and 2006, and the two festivals were among the most memorable, exhilarating, exhausting, overwhelming experiences of my life.
(This is me, working at my Bonnaroo campsite in 2006 and in 2005)
Last year, I was seven months pregnant when Bonnaroo rolled around, [...]

Best. Bonnaroo. Rumor. Ever
Last night I was at a Cub Scout meeting with my 4th grade son, Elliot, when I heard him discussing Bonnaroo with his buddy Liam.
Elliot: “Dude, you’re wrong, Jimi Hendrix is NOT playing Bonnaroo this year. He died, like, FORTY YEARS AGO!”

Less-than-thrilled with the announced Bonnaroo line-up
That’s the word over at Atomic Tumor:
Is it 1994? Did I hit some weird time loop? Pearl Jam and Metallica are headlining Bonnaroo? Didn’t they already do a Lollapallooza like that?
We went down the list, finding some neat bands, like Allman Bros, Raconteurs, M.I.A., !!!, Vampire Weekend, Rilo Keily. Maybe Allison [...]

What might this mean for “Led Zeppelin plays Bonnaroo” rumors?
Page says Led Zeppelin is ready to do a world tour…but not ’til September:
Page says the amount of work they put into their reunion show in December in London was what they would normally put into a world tour anyway.
That show featured Page, Plant, bassist-keyboardist John Paul Jones, and drummer Jason Bonham, son of late [...]

Led Zeppelin should do Bonnaroo because they already have southern hospitailty down pat
John Carney recounts a nice tale of Page and Plant:
Members of a young, up-and-coming British band named Van Tramp discovered, to their delight and amazement, that Jimmy Page and Robert Plant were rehearsing in the studio right next to theirs. They were, however, too intimidated to approach the rock legends. Later, they got ready to [...]
Robert Plant may be headed to Tennessee
Randy Neal points to an article out of the UK saying that Led Zeppelin will headline Bonnaroo this year.
I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s true since I know of several AC Entertainment peeps - both employees and close associates - who flew to London recently for the big Led Zeppelin show.
Having grown up in [...]
