Amazingly entertaining show! But I missed them at Bonnaroo...just couldn't make it over there. And the rednecks? The festival organizers give away passes to a lot of the locals and they like to come in to see the show. It's a goodwill gesture by both sides. The locals are very easy to spot, though (particularly the older ladies in their big hats and capri pants). And they love the festival--it brings in a ton of revenue and the organizers donate somewhere north of a million dollars to Coffee County.
