ACL scene reports: Byrne doesn’t burn gas
One of Friday’s biggest acts, David Byrne, could be the fest’s “green it like you mean it” spokesman. Forget the limo, Byrne rode his bike to Zilker Park, wearing a Chi Chi Rodriguez hat and his white stage outfit.
Austin’s Black & White Years play a “Rock the Vote” party tonight at 10 p.m. at the American Legion Hall, which has been taken over by Blender magazine and renamed the Music Lounge Mansion. It’s at 2201 Veterans Drive, just off Lake Austin Boulevard. By day, the “mansion” serves as a “gifting suite” for festival acts and the cast of “Friday Night Lights.” Hopefully, the kid who plays Tim Riggins will show up for a free haircut. There are free goodies, spa services and tattoos.
Someone at C3 can’t spell. All the signs for field access were spelled “Feild Access.”
Let us know if you hear a song dedicated to the late, great Paul Newman today.
