Bonnaroo Recap

I don't know about you, but I've had the Bonnaroo blues lately reading all of the reviews and seeing the great photos of my favorite bands playing to music lovers alike. I mean, just look at the Bonnaroo lineup! When I started to search for any and every Bonnaroo recap I could find, I noticed something. On one hand, it was cool and exciting to read the music industry's side of things, for example Paste Magazine's list of the top 10 moments this year. On the other hand, I realized not everyone that went this year got to see all of those things; they had different experiences that aren't found on sites like pitchfork and other music sites and blogs. I decided to look at my Facebook newsfeed to see if I could get a good review there, but all I found were pictures of my friends at their campsites so I decided to interview a friend of mine, Janelle Hougland, who attended the festival to get a firsthand recap of Bonnaroo 2012.

Fun.

Have you ever watched an artist or a band grow and evolve? I've watched it happen numerous times as a fan of all kinds of music. For example John Mayer, when he first came out with the song "No Such Thing" I was in high school and in that song he sang about running through the halls of his high school. As a fan, it was as if I grew with John Mayer. As I got older and matured, his music was doing the same thing album after album. The same thing happened with the band Fun.
