OurStage @ ROTHBURY: Snoop gets hippie love
With Jam bands dominating the bill, my biggest question entering the ROTHBURY music festival was how outliers like Modest Mouse and Of Montreal would be received by the tens of thousands of fans.
But the biggest question mark clearly belonged to Snoop Dogg.
Remember, this is a festival built around the concept of sustainable energy and social responsibility. And Snoop is the same guy who proudly hawked Girls Gone Wild and said he’d “never hesitate to put a N***a on his back.”
Of course, I had nothing to worry about. As Snoop slowly pedaled his way on stage on a chrome, low-riding tricycle, he knew exactly how he was going to connect with this audience.
“Anybody here smokin’ some weed?” he shouted to deafening applause. They belonged to him.
Even he seemed surprised by the crowd’s enthusiasm. “You guys are havin’ too much fuckin’ fun.”
