If you like a great dinner, Get reservations at the Mill House & Mama’s Fish House. Flatbread Company in Paia for pizza & Down the Hatch in Lahaina are solid lunch spots. Sunrise or Sunsets at Haleakala are surreal, and the Road to Hana is awesome. Enjoy!

Before we all condemn Sherman too much, let's not forget that his guides for his infamous march were mainly East, Tennesseans. And those men were not only unionists but had seen what the war had done to our area. Many had payback on their mind.

Harris was the worst governor in Tennessee history

Which one(s) do you normally go to?

We try to vary, but often end up back up on The Farm (Bonnaroo). But our visit last year made us think the lineup has passed us by. The experience is hands down the GOAT, but the deteroriating lineup finally outweighed the experience. They've strayed greatly from rock, jam roots to a majority of stuff we don't fully vibe with.

Also been:
Shaky Knees
Hangout
Moogfest
Mountain Oasis
Belechere, if that counts
Coachella

May try Lolla soon or else keep going to Shaky Knees in Atlanta. 100% rock or indie, though I'd like more variation, it's tough to argue with the lineup. Downside is experience is on the very low end. No camping, last show ends at 11 iirc, and people are very...normal.

The fun of Bonnaroo has always been all the weirdos and beautiful souls there. The community and vibes there are unmatched. They are grateful for everything around them. The opposite end of the spectrum is Coachella, that culture is absolute trash. Only went because my sister lived there and had never been to a fest before, plus the weather. You had to drink in designated areas FFS and people rarely went to shows before 6! At Roo people are braving 100 degrees and sun to see their favorite artists and it's a beautiful thing.

Edit: oh and Warped Tour at 16 :D

Lol @ Beatles being overrated. That just shows complete ignorance of what they were doing and what was happening with pop/rock music at that time. No one outside of Brian Wilson was even remotely on the same level as them musically or artistically in the mid-1960s.

I get that they aren't everyone's favorite band, but to call them overrated is ludicrous. The Lennon/McCartney songwriting partnership will never be equaled again in music. It's astounding that two songwriting geniuses were in the same band at the same time, with a third excellent songwriter (Harrison) contributing in their later days well.

His World War I series was incredible. If you travel a lot or have time to listen to podcasts, you can't go wrong with Carlin.

31,000 Tennesseans fought for the Union, but 1 out of every 2 East Tennesseans voted against secession. After the vote, East Tennessee talked about secession with a capital in Greeneville. I like to think East Tennesseans saw the real power dynamic that was working them over in the South: the slave aristocracy had created a pyramid with them on top. There wasn't much social mobility or opportunity for financial success in the reality of an economy based almost entirely on slavery.

Y'all know I'm about as lefty as it gets, but I think it's a slippery slope to expel a student for doing this (look at how our society struggles with diagnosing Antisemitism right now).. mostly because it seems to be in private (despite being on social media), and he's not some official representative of the university.

I stick up for our student-athletes that deserve second chances. I think rando's out of the student body are just as worthy of redemption. Public shaming/social shunning should be enough to teach this 19-20-something a valuable lesson.

I'm not defending their actions or views. I'm just hoping the backlash will push them in a better direction. Hopefully they don't double down and start suing everyone for defamation like those Covington twerps.
