Briefly: Bonnaroo, Leonard Cohen, Gary Glitter, Lisa Germano
Rapper Common and noise-rockers Sonic Youth are among the latest additions to the bill of this year's Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, which takes place June 15-18 on a farm outside Nashville, TN.
Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers and Radiohead are among the dozes of other acts scheduled to perform at the event. More details are posted at the Bonnaroo website.
Canadian singer/songwriter Leonard Cohen won a $9.5 million court judgment against a former manager Monday (2/27).
Cohen's suit alleged that longtime manager Kelley Lynch siphoned $5 million that belonged to Cohen. Because Lynch failed to respond to the suit, the judge awarded Cohen a default judgment.
British rocker Gary Glitter , 61, has been sentenced to serve three years in a Vietnamese prison following a conviction for molesting two Vietnamese girls, ages 10 and 11.
Glitter, whose real name is Paul Francis Gadd, reportedly will be deported to Great Britain after serving his sentence.
Singer/songwriter Lisa Germano --who's expected to release a new album titled "In the Maybe World" in June or July--has lined up a residency at the Los Angeles club Spaceland. She's scheduled to perform at the venue April 4, 11, 18 and 25.
Germano is also set to perform March 18 at the SXSW music festival in Austin, TX.
