Harsh on Fallon, his new show isn't that bad. The Rachel Maddow segment last night wasn't at least.

Is Jimmy Fallon going to laugh through his entire set in hopes of garnering laughs from the audience? His inability to keep a straight face during his jokes is to distract his audience form the fact that he lacks punchlines and talent. This is the type of "talent" brought to you by General Electric. Love it!

Yep, General Electric, those same fuckers who also bring us Conan and "30 Rock." Damn those bastards!

It would not be a Bonnaroo show without My Morning Jacket. Strong rumours that they will be there again this year.

The author of this post was going to work for Time Magazine, but they dropped their shitty entertainment journalism section.

Please don't be lying, I'm flying all the way from CA and still hoping that MMJ will be there. Missing their 4 hour set last year in the rain was one of the worst moments of 08 for me.

This is great news. We are hoping to make it to Bonnaroo this year and I think that would be the highlight for me. I started listening to PE back when 'Fear of a Black Planet' came out and am a huge fan. Sweet!

Amadou & Marium is a pretty awesome addition as well...great live show.

And I'm not a fan, but psyched that Shadows Fall will be there as well ... nice aggressive outlet after hanging with hippies for days.
