...third year, the all-day festival featured two stages, nine bands, and an array of vendors and activist group. The line-up for the main or "Mondo" stake was Sheryl Crow, Big Head Todd and the Monsters, Blues Traveler and the Allman Brothers Band. In between each of these acts were performances on the smaller "Gonzo" stage by Cycomotogoat, Ugly Americans, Little Sister, Screamin' Cheetah Wheelies and Raging Slab. The festival has evolved and grown considerably since its inception, most likely due to the increased involvement of record companies who see the tour as a promotional tool...
...remarkable thing about the customers who filed in and out of Allman's Fashion Discount, a small Miami apparel shop, was that they never bought any clothes. Instead, say the police, they flocked to 17 cellular phones at the back of the store to call family and friends in Central and South America for just 50 cents a minute -- less than half the nighttime rate for standard phones.

It was the unexpected commercial success of Columbia's wondrous boxed collection of Robert Johnson that sent other companies back to their vaults, breathing a little life into history. So Johnson and James ramble together again...
There is Travis Tritt, whose early affection for the Allman Brothers and the Eagles can be heard in the lush melancholy of his tunes and such spiky go-to- hell anthems as Here's a Quarter (Call Someone Who Cares). And there are Carlene Carter and Rosanne Cash, two of country's most valuable and idiosyncratic talents. Cash has an intellectual rowdiness -- cut with an adult dose of rock -- that makes most of this new group sound like Sunday choristers. Carter (part of the legendary Carter family) is a kind of roots rebel and hard to pin down, but last...
