With every passing gray day, the summer draws closer.  One of the sure signs of summer’s approach is that, one by one, the big summer concert festivals begin to roll out their lineups and announce to waiting music fans just what they have in store for the sweltering, sunny days ahead.  Billy Joel is going to be the headliner of the 2015 edition of Bonnaroo, supported by usual suspects like Mumford and Sons, My Morning Jacket, Robert Plant, Kendrick Lamar, Florence and the Machine, and lots more.  Here’s the full lineup for the 2015 edition of Bonnaroo.

The festival has had lots of weird acts before, like Weird Al Yankovic, but to me the weirdest act of the festival is buried lower in the lines.  That act would be, of all things, Slayer.  What one of the big four metal bands would be doing at Bonnaroo, home of all things peace and love and drugs, I have no idea.  Still, I imagine it would be awesome to see Slayer at a concert festival in front of thousands of people who have no idea what they’ve gotten themselves in for.  Or, I suspect, a good minority of people who know what they’re in for.

Bonnaroo promises to be the biggest one yet, with over 125 musical acts, 20 comedians, and four days of fun.  Bonnaroo is promised to draw 80,000 people to Manchester, Tennessee.  If you’re going, be prepared for traffic.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
