I'm also looking forward to seeing Tool and White Stripes. Nothing I've really listened to, but I'm really interested in hearing them. I've been hearing great things about a live Tool show. Also, the other bands that I don't really know excite me. Part of the fun in Bonnaroo is stumbling across the bands that you may not know, getting to hear some tunes, and loving them. I can't wait to find some new music to fall in love with!
Like, before the Roo last year, I never even heard of Buddy Guy. And I remember wandering with my friend and kind of hearing something I liked, so we gravitated towards that stage. And let me tell you, I love him now! See, that's what Bonnaroo is supposed to do: get you to listen to new music. I'm thrilled. I can't wait.
