Bonnaroo

Although Tennessee's Bonnaroo started out as the ultimate, modern-day "hippie rock festival" — it was once even brutally, but hilariously skewered as such by those evil kids on TV's South Park — it has in recent years become much more than a showcase for jam bands like Phish and My Morning Jacket.

But seriously, what's Bonnaroo without My Morning Jacket, right?

Over the years, Bonnaroo has in fact hosted everyone from Radiohead to Tom Petty to Willie Nelson to Metallica. On its way to becoming what is arguably now the biggest of all the big summer music festivals, Bonnaroo has also become one of the most musically diverse.

Talk within the blogosphere about Bonnaroo usually centers around who will be part of the lineup in any given year. One perennial rumor that pops up repeatedly is that none other than Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will headline the festival.
