“8 Ways Bonnaroo Is Better Than Coachella: How did Nashville’s Bonnaroo festival become the best ticket in music?<\/em>“<\/strong>
\nGQ Magazine, June 2006, p. 98<\/p>\n

1. Unlike Coachella’s bone-dry desert, Bonnaroo’s lush Tennessee forest makes it easy to hide, smoke the weed.<\/p>\n

2. Chance that Bonnaroo performer Ben Folds will bring noted singer William Shatner.<\/p>\n

3. Bonnaroo VIP areas not overrun with The OC<\/em> cast members trying to “kick it on the DL, indie-rock-style.”<\/p>\n

4. Bonnaroo’s ex-junkies (Steve Earle) can beat up Coachella’s ex-junkies (lead-singer guy from Depeche Mode).<\/p>\n

5. Coachella dance tent will feature Madonna, shitty trance music; Bonnaroo “dance tent” is three Evergreen sophomores grooving to “Dark Star.”<\/p>\n

6. Bonnaroo’s Dr. John slightly more comprehensible than Coachella fave Sigur R\u00c3\u00b3s.<\/p>\n

7. Absence of luxury spa hotels in Manchester region will limit presence of top-level music executives.<\/p>\n

8. “Bonnaroo” more fun to say.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
