Sweet Sugar: Star-Spangled Bannerama
The University of Georgia absolutely crippled overmatched Hawaii in last night’s Sugar Bowl, the Bulldogs making the islanders look more like Rainbow Flag-Waving Nancy Boys than Rainbow Warriors (though that’d be too long a nickname).
The highlight of the game may very well have been the National Anthem, arranged and performed exceptionally by New Orleans’ own Bonerama. Our friend J-Love is quite possibly the band’s real-deal #1 fan, and she’s pretty damn cool, so by some sort of modus tollens or ponens logic corollary, we’re also big fans of the ‘Rama. So when they get airtime in front of 80,000 people and the entire football-watching populace, we think that qualifies as news. Take it away, gang:

This has no relevance to the post, but fark.com has a link, http://www.mirror.co.uk/showbiz/frontpageshowbiz/2007/12/31/led-zep-for-festival-89520-20270256/reporting ,that Zeppelin is headlining Bonnaroo. Thought that the Hidden Track faithful might like to hear that.

to sum up the link:
An insider told the mirror:
“This is the news that will drive their fans absolutely wild.
“They have been bombarding their website to get back together for good but only Robert Plant wasn’t keen to commit.
“Now he’s had a change of heart (towards deciding to headline Bonnaroo) and if it goes well they are also talking about touring.”
