And on another sweaty note...

This year's Bonnaroo lineup has been announced. Besides being a fun, sweaty, showerless, sleep-in-a-tent hippie fest, I'm thinking this might be the cheapest way to catch The Police on their reunion tour.

Not to make it seem like I only care about the really big-name band. But I don't think anybody on the list performs for free. I mean, this is America.

Anyhow, Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals, Wilco, Gillian Welch, and Damien Rice are among other performers I'd like to see. Plus you'll have those festival-friendly jam bands Widespread Panic and The String Cheese Incident (had a great time watching folks skip in circles to these guys’ songs in New Orleans one time).

I'm planning to make the trip to Manchester, Tenn., with my buddy Gustavo, pictured in his tent at the '06 Bonnaroo, (thanks for the pic, G, although I can't tell whether you're sweating or not) and a few more of our pals. That would make for some fun blogs, I'll bet.

Hey, Ashley. You’re from Tennessee. Did you ever go?
