So Bonnaroo was a hell of a festival this year with all sorts of artists from all aorts of genres. Metal, R&B, Bluegrass, yuo name a genre it was probably there (With the exception of Black Metal). Wish I could have been there..in the heat…and the stink…and all the overpriced vendors. But really…I wish I could have been there.

Pearl Jam’s show ran later than everyone had expected…to include Kanye West. It ran an hour over and ruined everything for Kanye West and people gave him a bad review to which he was furious about. FURIOUS!! Kanye, you need to be mentally “Stronger” and grow up a bit. And as for you Pearl Jam, you late running, show stealers…I don’t know who you guys think you are, having only been around for over 15 years, but you better stop ruining everything for the next guy, damn it!

“She lies and says she’s in love with him
Can’t find a better man
She dreams in color, she dreams in red
Can’t find a better man, can’t find a better man”

It’s very rare that you hear a band cover another classic bands song and do such an incredible job that you just can not believe your ears. Sure there are a lot of catchy cover songs out there and more often than not bands try to cover fairly easy and radio friendly songs that they know will get air play and will surely set them on their way to instant stardom. We’ve seen it a million times. What’s better is when an established band that obviously doesn’t need the help of a cover song takes it and sings and plays it as their own. Pearl Jam’s cover of The Who’s ‘Love, Reign O’er Me’ for the same titled movie about a man (Played by Adam Sandler) who loses his family in one of the 9/11 planes, is an amazing cover. If you haven’t heard the cover, you can now. If you haven’t seen the movie I highly suggest renting it. Enjoy the song and video.
