Dear Readers,
I made it back from Bonnaroo.
Each year, veterans of the festival learn a little more about surviving in a field. An inflatable pool is on our list for next year. We’ll fill it with the melted ice from everyone’s coolers. It will be glorious.
Quick Bonnaroo financial report: while ticket prices are on the rise, ice is down.
On Friday night a large gentleman must have found his enlightenment, as he thrashed into the crowd, and eventually to the ground, without a stitch of clothes on. Surely the display was an intricately choreographed dance of sorts inspired by the trippy rock of Tool.
What was going through this guy’s head?
“He must be waiting for the mothership to beam him up,” Eric said, as flashlights pointed out the large mass of flesh writhing on the ground.
While his slamming into a large crowd of people would probably not be tolerated at Rutherford County’s Rock Haven Lodge, his nudity would be.
Check out the very next page of this Pulse as Terry and Scott get the bare facts and expose the truth about Rock Haven.
I can’t say I blame anyone for wanting to go without clothes in this weather.
It is America, right? The land of the free.
If you need me on July 4, I’ll be at the Boro Bar & Grill living the American dream at the Freedom Bash.
While there are things everyone dislikes about this country, let’s just ignore those and have a rock concert. Don’t be fooled into thinking the United States is about war, imprisonment, poor health care, Republicans and Democrats. It’s about you and me doing what we love. We still have to make that money, but we’re no slaves.
But if you want to start a revolution against the government, I’m in. July 4 is after all a remembrance of revolution against oppressive government.
Maybe we should rebel against recurring property taxes. How can one live outside of the machine when the government charges you property taxes each year? Shouldn’t it be a one-time thing, a sales tax? That way someone can buy property and live off his land if he chooses. But he wouldn’t be part of the machine that way . . .
Drop by the office and play me in a game of chess when you can?a $50 Chef Raymond’s gift card to the winner.
I hope everyone saw the ugliest dog contest from California last week. Elwood, the winner, or loser, however you look at it, was indeed a frighteningly ugly little boy/rat/dog. I think we need to stage a similar contest around here, to poke fun at the less attractive creatures.
Peace,
