Jammin at Bonnaroo

(07/23/03 4:00am)

"Booonnnnarrrooooo . . ." I screamed in a piercing coyote-like tone into the pitch-black Tennessee sky. My head hung triumphantly out of the window of the black overcrowded Suburban packed with tents, sleeping bags, and junk food, while cigarette smoke congested any remaining air space.

A myriad of desperate and ticketless fans--many offering upwards of 3,000 smackers or even their sister--scoured the scene for that ever-elusive extra. Unsurprisingly, no one was willing to sell.
