Yea or Nay - James Blunt

[idio]

I'm watching this acoustic set of his right now on HD-MTV and he is an interesting performer - very... passionate.

I've seen him play a free outdoor show in Boston before - and that was decent. Plus, I've been known to sing along to his first cd...loudly.

So - that begs the question - can you see James Blunt performing at Roo 08?

[strumntheguitar]

Personally I don't want it.... but i suppose it's possible he shows up.

[Bishop]

Another one of my least favorite rock artists, so no, sadly. But I'm with strumn, I'd say it's a pretty good possibility that he could play.

His lyrics blow donkey balls smeared with goat shit...

I don't know whether to laugh at the proposal or the thought of you singing along with his music.

Just kidding. I just had to make one smart-ass comment.

Do I want him there? No. Could I see Superfly booking him as one of the more "mainstream" acts? Yes.

So I guess that's a no.

Did someone say blunt at bonnaroo

[Bishop]

Well, I'd sure hope there'd be "blunt" at Bonnaroo if Blunt were there. That's the only thing that could save my ears from exploding if I were to listen to his music... then I'd get annoyed and run off.

Karma for being so cool and understanding. There are many folks on this message board who could from your laid-back attitude.

That was pretty funny. Karma for you.

Of course, there's none of that going on at Roo.
[edit] Oh yeah, I had to vote no.

[mojoworks]

^^^^^^^
Big John, karma for your avatar. I just saw that movie for the first time a few nights ago. I really dug it.

NO NO NO NO NO

One of the few artists who might make me boycott Roo. And I'm a little distressed to learn there might be a possibility of him playing. He and Rascall Flatts are my lowest of the low.

Oh, and I saw him outdoors in Boston too (maybe the same show: the green earth festival or something, with the fray and los lonely boys?) and, shockingly enough, he was terrible

[Bishop]

One of my friends that we brought to roo last year is a pretty big closet James Blunt fan... Like he hides that he likes it...

A small part of me wants him to be there so that we can call out our friend.

None of that was serious, James Blunt's not even worth a laugh... oooh, that's cold.

[kaleidoscope kristen]

his music is pretty catchy, but I really wouldn't prefer him to be at Roo...

yeah man, that was the show. for me, he was the highlight - mean "los lonely boys?" come on. i thought it was interesting how non-family friendly he was...for such a family friendly show.

i dont know who rascall flatts is - i think he might be a country singer? I dunno - dierks bentley played this year and it didn't impact my experience. having JB play would just make it easier for you to choose a different performance

No. There are no blunts at Bonnaroo. Or Blunts.

LOL! Great point! ;D Not my thing, but wouldn't bother me if he shows up....I'll just have an easier choice as to who else I want to see in that time slot Not a prob

Los Lonely Boys opened 'Roo in 2004 and absolutely rocked.
