Dear Angel, We are new to the area, and my 16-year-old son tells me there’s a small local music festival next weekend near Manchester that he’d like to at- tend. I think it’s called Bonnaroo. While I’m glad he’s interested in the regional culture of our new community, I just wondered if you thought it would be exciting enough to entertain a 16-year-old? Musical Mom
Dear Musical Mom, If you are of a certain age, you may recall another small local music festival in the late ’60s called Woodstock. Like Bonnaroo, Woodstock was set on a farm in a rural area of upstate New York, but unlike Bonnaroo, it was relatively small and sedate. Th ere is no doubt in my mind that your 16-year-old son will be thoroughly entertained by such quaint, unfamiliar bands such as Mumford & Sons or the National and regional musicians such as Paul McCartney, Tom Pett y, and Björk (a surname typical of the area; I believe she has kinfok in Gruetli-Laager in Grundy County). Make sure that he brings enough money to purchase many libations (it’s hot, and he’ll want to stay hydrated), as well local medicinal herbs that will be sold during the festival. If your son has been to summer camp, Bonnaroo will be a lot like that: He will likely end up in a tent with a bunch of people he’s never met before and will experience new adventures in outdoor living away from the comforts of home. He will also learn certain survival skills, such as how to forage for food when he’s spent all his money on beer, and how to go for three days without sleeping or showering. While there are no counselors, per se, he will no doubt fi nd lots of people who will off er him guidance about which bands to see and what places to fi nd the best, uh, well, whatever he may need to make his Before the school year’s end, the Franklin County High School Interact Club presented a check for $1,000 to the Franklin County time at Bonnaroo particularly memorable.

While bands such as Peanut Butt er Lovesicle, Japan- droids and Death Grips might seem more dubious, chances are he won’t be drawn to the dark side they may represent because you’ve raised him Economic right. So send him on to enjoy a litt le local color; don’t worry about a thing! Shop Locally Dear Angel, Impact It’s been so quiet and peaceful here for the last few weeks since the students left ; Sewanee is a real paradise at this time of year. Will this last for the rest of the summer, or are other people going to show up and of Bonnaroo wreck it? I need to know when it will end, so I can prepare myself.
