This business was started by Kerry Black (graphic design), Rick Farman (festival operations), Richard Goodstone (marketing), and Jonathan Mayers (programming). Black, Farman and Mayers had attended college in New Orleans and started working on booking music for local clubs while still in school. Goodstone joined them. They wanted to figure out how to do what they loved for a living while using their educations. The first Bonnaroo took place in 2002. The founders chose "bonnaroo", a Creole slang word meaning "a really good time," for its literal meaning and to honor the rich New Orleans music tradition they had enjoyed in college. This term was popularized by New Orleans R&B singer Dr. John with his 1974 album ''Desitively Bonnaroo.''〔 Meaning "a really good time," it is a popular Ninth Ward slang term in New Orleans, derived from the French ''"bonne"'' /bɔn/ the feminine agreement of ''"bon"'' /bɔ̃/ meaning "good", and the French ''"rue"'' /ry/ meaning "street", translating roughly to ''"the best on the streets"''. The founders were inspired by music festivals they attended in the 1990s, including those put on by the band Phish, and events held in Coachella and Glastonbury. They found a site in Manchester, Tennessee that had facilities and good highway access. Using only their website for ticket sales, they sold out the festival in about two weeks. By 2003, the festival had been named by ''Rolling Stone'' magazine as one of the 'top 50 moments in rock & roll.' Comedy acts such as Jim Breuer were first added in 2005. In 2007, Bonnaroo purchased the land for the festival, creating Great Stage Park with all of its iconic features. They installed a permanent main stage in 2010.〔 Through Superfly Productions, they also founded the Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival, which takes place annually in San Francisco, California. Superfly also founded Great GoogaMooga, a festival held in Brooklyn, New York. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bonnaroo Music Festival」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
