I saw that tonight...too bad no flag guy, I didn't go to any of the shows he opened and I wanted to experience him. Did you know that, out in the street, they call it M U R D E R... 
Yeah, I was looking for the flag guy. Maybe the stage wasn't big enough for him.

That's too funny, because I immediately wondered where the flag guy was, too. 
Damien Marley's band stayed at my hotel in Philly, and I kept running into the flag guy.
I'm really glad I got to see Damien Marley. Out of the three openers I saw, he was definitely my favorite.

Yeah, Damien Marley was a great opener, I miss them...
U2 should get a Flag Man, too.
Someone just walking around the Ellipse, waving a giant white flag, with U2 in big red letters in the middle.
Any volunteers?

On a related note I got to interview The Wailers for our school paper (Mississippi State University) since they were playing a free show here. It was pretty cool.
But things got even cooler when, about 2 hours before the show, they called me back looking to score some you-know-what! That was so surreal This is how the conversation went:
Me: Hello? (I was groggy because I had JUST gotten up from a nap)
Jamaican voice: Yeah did somebody call from this number?
Me: Um....is this Gary?
Jamaican Voice: Yah mahn!
Me: Hey...yeah I called you, like, four days ago for an interview but haven't since then.
Jamaican Voice: OH yah yah mahn. How you doin? You comin' out to the show tonight?
Me: Yeah I can't wait...it's gonna be awesome.
Jamaican Voice: Great! You comin' empty handed?
Me: ..............
Jamaican Voice: You know what I mean?
Me: Yeah yeah...I think I gotcha.
Jamaican Voice: Cool if you can hook us up that'd be great. We'll pay for it of course!
Me: Uh...heheh...alright lemme see what I can do. I'll call you back.
So we're at this big outdoors music fest thing here in town and me and two friends ended up going into the basement of a neighboring business that was right by the stage and smoking up with Gary and "Familyman" Barrett of the Wailers! How cool is that?!?
I don't usually ever smoke weed but this was an oppurtunity I just couldn't pass up!
