Top 5 (or so) Musical Moments at ACL

Another ACL has come and gone...sigh. Here are my top 5 or so musical (not crowd, food, beverage or clothing related moments) from ACL.

#5. Not being able to hear Willie Nelson - and having people chant "turn it up", "turn it up"- as in the amplifiers

#4 Flaming Lips and their unusual stage show- hey it was complete with space aliens and santa claus's. It is Austin so
I could understand space aliens....but Santa Claus's?!?!?!? I don't know what these dudes put in their coffee in the
morning ,but it sure must be good.....hehhe

#3 Gnarls Barkley- Too bad I didn't know about his "pre-show" at Stubb's on Thursday night- this guy rocks!!!
Will probably also be the next new contestant on "Celebrity Weighloss"- along with the likes of Carnie Wilson

#2 Matisyahu- let's hear it for forming a new "genre" of music - Hasidic Jewish reggae, rap!!! I'm hoping it will catch
on ....this guy sold out Stubb;'s earlier this year in 4 hours for his show. Plus aren't we all sick of looking at Britney
Spears abs anyway?!?!?!?!

#1 Ben Kweller- Kudos go out to this guy. He had a massive nose-bleed in the middle of his performance and asked for
help.......via a tampon! He shoved a tampon up his nose so he could continue playing. Now , he has true ACL spirit (I also heard that he and his wife are currently looking for a place to live in Austin).
