Funny thing happened on the way to Bonnaroo. We got our asses rocked by Bobby Bare Jr's Young Criminal's Salvation League at Headliners in Louisville. Playing in between strong set by The Elms and The Slip, BBJ and his band rocked the house. Featuring a powerhouse drummer, a good lead guitarist and a flat-chested ugly girl on keyboards and a big baritone sax, BBJ roared thru a set of his best songs. I was taken aback by the sax chick. She was kinda maybe sorta attractive in a lonely librarian kinda way, pasty white skin, with the figure of a birch tree. But when she started wailing with that big ol' sax between her legs, well, she was a rock queen.

Then the Odyssey began. A cotton pickin' belly-busting joy ride thru the finest hill country Southern Kentucky and Tennessee has to offer. Big meat-necked state troopers lined the whole way, but thankfully left us alone.



Now we are here at Camp NUVO chillin' and getting ready to go see Mutemath, Tea Leaf Green, Clutch and The Whigs. Stay tuned.
