Vibes lineup

OK, now that Wilco (and maybe Weezer?!) are headlining Vibes, I think I may just be done with the fest scene altogether. I've been a defender of Wilco's music, if not Jeff Tweedy and his ego, but I still think they were a bad fit for Lockn, and they have NO place headlining any hippie/jam fest. You wanna have an alt-rock fest? Fine. Get REM back together, dig up the guitar player for 10000 Maniacs, and have Wilco do a fest with them. The fact that Tweedy comes from a seminal alt-country band notwithstanding, Wilco's music is pretty straightforward alt-ROCK. They are not jam, and while they certainly have some Americana influences, they are not primarily country, blues, bluegrass or folk (also notwithstanding: the Mermaid Avenue sessions).
There just aren't enough of us ol' heads to buy tickets. Eventually it all becomes about asses in seats. Everything becomes Bonnaroo in the end.
To be fair though, the rest of the lineup looks pretty sweet.

could we be so lucky. More for NRPS because DSO plays Humboldt at least once a year but would dovetail any slot at Lockn

As many of us have said regarding Lockn', the non-headliners are what make the fest for many of us.
NRPS is one of my favorite bands from when they were on top. I saw them a few years ago and the lead singer's voice is gone, and that was one of the best features of the music. He also had a big old chip on his shoulder about FOTD. So while I'd like it if they showed up for us, I don't miss them now only because the quality is down. Not too bad, but kinda sad.
Still, it would be fun to get the time machine and bring on NRPS, Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Amazing Rhythm Aces, Marshall Tucker, Grinderswitch, NRBQ, and the Outlaws!

I dont have any interest i NRPS at Lockn. Seen them twice in the past 1.5 years. On their better show they were decent but not great. The other show they were bad--zero energy at all.

- I don't really mind Weezer, saw them at Voodoo Fest in 2010 and it was a fun show leading into a weird as hell Ozzy show on Halloween which was pretty cool.
