So I just talked to the bassist from the band Elephant Revival and asked them if they were going to play Roo'. He said that they might and asked if that was the same festival in TN with "Phish and Paul Simon headlining?"
Needless to say my jaw dropped and I came to this forum.
I know I am nOOb and of course if I am wrong I will let anyone take a shot at me down in Manchester!
In all seriousness, I DO doubt such a MAJOR addition will be added, but thought such a juicy rumor should be posted.
Sounds like he saw the fake poster and never bothered to look at the real one.
Needless to say, if Paul Simon was somehow an addition (which he IS NOT), the bassist from Elephant Revival would be the second to last person on Earth to secretly know that information. The last person would be the drummer for Elephant Revival.

It is always fun to have a band give you info like that, even if it turns out to be wrong. These little rumors are our life blood the other 361 days of the year outside of Roo!! So thank you for sharing
PS you might get some poop from the smurfs on the board, who, if they thought they were "in the know" about something like this, would come squealing like little girls right to the board to post it too. Just ignore I knew the Shins were playing a few weeks before lineup drop, and I knew that Neil Young was supposed to be the 4th name on the lineup the day of lineup drop, before Insider told everyone, because I am acquainted with someone "in the know". I didn't even consider posting it here because of the flak people get. Instead I texted a small group of Inforooers.
I don't know who the Quack Elephant Revival is but i'm pretty sure their bassist wouldn't know about a major lineup addition. Also, most people who frequent this board knew that The Shins would be on the lineup and Neil was the 4th headliner insider was talking about.

I'll agree with point A 100%.
What LLL was talking about was long before it was confirmed. There were some correct guesses but we never knew. In fact most people, I think, assumed that The Beach Boys were the act that insider was talking about.

As GL said, it was LONG before Insider even mentioned that there was an act who fell through. I have a connection who works on the "inside" and gives me scoops, and this BS is exactly why I only tell the people I know rather than post it on the boards. I hate the BS that some of the smurfs on here pull on one another. Case in point.
While it is likely as jay pointed out, that the bassists perhaps saw one of the fake posters, the point is, OP was excited because he thought he might have a scoop to share with us on the board. He appears to be fairly new to the boards. Yet you guys have to be dicks anyways, knowing damn well that if you get the slightest hint of a lead on a possible band you guys come running here just the same whether is it is possibly true or not.
At the time I knew it was 99% unlikely that Paul Simon would/will not be at Roo. Just thought I would relay what I was told, thinking it would be fun to talk about.

I don't know why people can speculate on all of these other names being at Bonnaroo, but hate on someone predicting Paul Simon might be an addition and actually giving some sort of evidence.
For instance, Paul Simon is no less likely than Jack White. In fact, I'd bet on Paul Simon before I'd bet on Jack White at this stage in the game.
6/07: Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros (3 Rivers Arts Fest)
6/08: The Postal Service
6/12: Glen Hansard and Lisa Hannigan (3 Rivers Arts Fest)
6/19: Rancid and The Transplants
7/26-7/28: NEWPORT FOLK FESTIVAL!
Lollapalooza 07 / Bonnaroo 08,09,11,12 / FreeFest 09,10,11,12 / Made in America 12 / Newport Folk 13
Case in point.
