Get Clued in on Bonnaroo

The Bonnarumors are flying again, thanks in part to the organizers of the annual outdoor music festival.
This year’s Bonnaroo, taking place June 12-15 in Manchester, Tenn., will mark the fest’s seventh year, but we’re still waiting for the announcement of the line-up. Bonnaroo Radio, on the official Bonnaroo site, is dropping hints about some of the artists scheduled to play the fest.
Late in 2007, the blogosphere was a-buzz with hints of another Led Zeppelin appearance, following the band’s one-off December reunion show in London. That’s looking less likely, but an appearance by the band’s frontman is entirely possible. Robert Plant paired up with Alison Krauss for the critically hailed “Raising Sand” album last year, and the duo has some dates lined up already, including the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival in May.
Thanks to music blog Stereogum and the folks on the Bonnaroo message board, here are some of the hints Bonnaroo Radio has dropped so far:
“There is more than one Manchester”
“Memphis isn’t Albany”
“Clouds taste this way”
“Some herrings are red, Jimmy”
“Hard substance, soft substance”
“Janis Joplin’s reserves will be preserved”
“It’s not sour, what is sowed in the earth”
“Three certain birds, add one”
“Look to the center of Europe to get the sound, but the band comes from all around.”
“What rhymes with orange?”
Any ideas? Check out Stereogum and the Bonnaroo message boards for the speculation so far, and take your best shot at solving these riddles.
