...fact that a burnt-out heavy metal band now occupied the spotlight that only a few years earlier had shown on Trey Anastasio of Phish. I spent a portion of one day following around the most eccentric characters. A large man in heavy geisha-style make-up, a dress, and an inexplicable shiny circular target on his back forced me to unmask the falsity of this entire spectacle. I don’t care how weird you are, no one walks around wearing an outfit like that in 100-degree weather. I followed him to the restricted, Bonnaroo-backstage area...

...Meanwhile, violence is on the rise. In eastern cities, young men wave autonomy flags while they wield bats against indigenous women in traditional dress. Over the past few days, groups of opposition loyalists have taken over several state institutions (airports, state television studios, educational facilities) in the opposition controlled departments of Santa Cruz, Tarija, Beni and Pando. Yesterday, just hours before the Morales' declarations against Goldberg, a bomb exploded on one of Bolivia's main natural gas pipelines, cutting into its exports to Brazil...
