It's difficult to know where to start. There have been some pleasant surprises along the way. As I was gearing up to see Ziggy Marley, I heard this sprite of a voice emanating from another tent. She was using her voice as an instrument, making various odd noises, while pounding away on the keyboard in front of her. Turns out it was Regina Spektor, once upon a time from Moscow, and more recently from the Bronx. She's the Tori Amos for the next generation of fans- she even evokes her father adamantly during a tune, as Amos is wont to do.What can I possibly say about Marley? The man is a living legend, and he radiates peace, love and happiness from the stage. The audience was the most blissed I have seen, with their own expressions of serendipity- non-stop smiling, swaying and singing along. Maybe we should all add a little Ziggy to our diets.
Various other bands have played today- Fountains of Wayne, Ween, Spoon, Damien Rice- but Keller Williams, in my humble opinion, topped them all with his earnestness, guitar and skat singing. Rock on.
