[Hump Day Diversion] Bonna-n00b Myth Bustin’
No text
Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival is used to having some of the biggest, most recognizable names in the music business topping its lineup – from Bruce Springsteen to Radiohead to Metallica. But the 2013 edition one-upped all of their previous incarnations by bringing in perhaps the most famous musician in the world: Sir Paul McCartney. Having a Beatle on The Farm brought together fans of all ages, races, and walks of life. With his set being the most anticipated in the history of Bonnaroo, the weekend was Macca’s right from the get-go. Even his sound check will go down [...]
photos by Dana (distortion) Yavin Bjork / Empire of the Sun @ Bonnaroo, 6/15/2013 There's no shortage of kooky costumed folk at Bonnaroo , but it's usually the antendees who are eccentrically attired. On Saturday (6/15), though, the main stage gave them a run for their money. Ever fashion forward, Bjork wore a headdress that either made her look like a dandelion or an extra from Hellraiser [...]
This year's Bonnaroo curators covered important bases in terms of top-level talent: from iconic boomer-fare like Paul McCartney and Tom Petty, to iconic R&B fare like R. Kelly, to iconic hipster/hippie fare (a Bonnaroo speciality) in Animal Collective. And the undercard was ripe, too, with strong names from most every genre over four days on the 'Roo family farm. You could focus on bands like Baroness, or Death Grips, or Nas, or Edward Sharp. Which is not to say you should focus on every band, but as a New Yorker once said, the world is yours (is yours [...]
Jim James se une con R. Kelly y Billy Idol en un escenario de Bonnaroo Este año, Bonnaroo contó con tres diferentes Superjams, incluyendo uno comandado por Jim James de My Morning Jacket y John Oates y una mezcolanza de invitados especiales. A sólo unos minutos después de su propio set como cabeza de cartel, R. Kelly apareció en el escenario y cantó " A Change Is Gonna Come " de Sam Cook , y fue seguido por Billy Idol , quien [...]
It's been a minute since R. Kelly rolled his sleeves up and flipped a radio tune into his own wicked web of R&B tomfoolery, so this was indeed the surprise. Kelz grabs ahold of Kelly Rowland's soul-bearing single to vent a heap of frustrations with his own signature spin. R. Kelly - "Dirty Laundry (Remix)" [X]
My Morning Jacket frontman Jim James was joined at Bonnaroo last night by British rocker Billy Idol and R&B artist R. Kelly , as part of the festival's Superjam sets. Consequence of Sound reports that the closet connoisseur arrived on stage shortly after wrapping up his own headlining set at the festival, and sang his soulful rendition of Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come"- a staple of his live shows in recent years- footage of which can be seen below. Idol, meanwhile, joined the ensemble to [...]
R. Kelly is starting to make a habit out of these bizarrely awesome, surprise guest performances: first was his duet with Phoenix at Coachella, and now we get him joining Jim James and Billy Idol during James' Superjam at Bonnaroo. After he finished headlining his own set, R. Kelly headed directly over to the Superjam, [...]
Just minutes after his solo Bonnaroo set, R. Kelly made a surprise appearance during the festival's Rock n' Soul Dance Party Superjam - and while there, he took the lead on a cover of Sam Cooke 's civil rights anthem "A Change Is Gonna Come." (Perhaps he saw Beyonce cover this very song at Chime for Change and felt inspired - who knows?) The Rock n' Soul Dance Party was led by Jim James and featured John Oates (yes, of Hall & [...]
Power 105.1 has debuted a radio-friendly remix of Kelly Rowland 's "Dirty Laundry," featuring R. Kelly . While Rowland sings of an abusive relationship in the origina, Talk a Good Game track, Kelly steps in to sing as the beau himself: "Let's just get it all out, you got something to say? / Say it to my face, so silence your mouth." While this particular relationship inspired Destiny's Child 's "Girl," a song that imagines a staged intervention, Rowland had never been this forthcoming until [...]
