Bonnaroo unveiled its 2012 lineup moments ago with the random help of ESPN’s John Anderson. And according the SportsCenter funnyman, it’s going to be “crazy good.”
Appearing in a YouTube video, Anderson pulls out a Roland AX-Synth from under his desk–a keytar he lovingly calls his battle-axe–and comically recalls the days he spent in a band.
“We toured all over the place–central Missouri, west-central Missouri,” Anderson jokes. “Great life, just me and my battle-axe.”
