When Bonnaroo revealed this year’s lineup back in January, no name elicited more groans — on social media and message boards, anyway — than Machine Gun Kelly.
Why? Those folks probably had an image of the rocker/rapper similar to what we first got as he shambled onto the What Stage: a rail-thin, bleach-blonde dude with dark sunglasses, a studded choker, a cigarette dangling from his mouth and a million other sartorial choices we don’t have time to get into.
Thankfully, it didn’t take long for 32-year-old Colson Baker to shed that contrived skin and give Bonnaroo his all.
