    pretty good indication (sorry if it has been posted earlier)...

    Lou, Arlington, VA: If you could have any artist on the show -- dead or alive -- who would it be and why?

    Terry Lickona: Dead OR alive?? LOL...nobody has ever quite put the question that way. In the non-living category, I'd have to say that HANK WILLIAMS (the original, not Jr.) would be right up there. Among the living, the obvious names missing from our 35-year history include Springsteen and Dylan...not for lack of trying...but I've never been able to break the ice. There are so many classic acts, too numerous to mention, but it was a thrill last year to have REM on our stage, and we're looking forward to another breakthrough this year with Pear Jam...but don't tell anybody... ;-)

    This is from a chat on pbs.org. Terry runs ACL and ACL Fest. I would guess PJ will do a taping the same weekend as the festival. Foo Fighters closed the fest Sunday last year and did a taping Monday night.
    This show, another show, a show here and a show there.

    At least the dates go with a fall tour!

    Any chance they make it east of the Mississippi on this fall tour? Perhaps another October Alpine date?

    I think Terry Lickona is referring to the ACL television show on PBS. There is ACL the TV show and ACL the giant festival. Dylan did the festival, not the show.

    I remember sitting on that fucking blanket baking in the sun and wishing Lupe Fiasco would fall off the stage.

    But it was fun. Had a great time!

    the food @ ACL is awesome. they have local vendors making everything fresh. my faves from last year were Stubb's, Wahoo's & Roy's Hawaiian Fusion.

    edit: just saw this on the ACL msg board

    According to AustinSoundCheck, The B-52s, Sonic Youth, John Legend and Thievery Corporation are confirmed for ACL.

    Sonic Youth would be cool to see 8-)
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    I went to ACL for the first time last year and it won't be my last... regardless of who headlines this year!

    It's just a bonus for me if it's going to be Pearl Jam! I haven't seen them since 2006... when I moved from PA to TX. And... it's on my birthday weekend!
