Wu-Tang Clan Had an ASL Interpreter at Bonnaroo and She Stole The Show
[There was a video here]
There was plenty of talent to go around at last weekend's Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival: Paul McCartney, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Wilco, Kendrick Lamar, Bob Saget.
But none of the headliners could hold an environmentally friendly candle to the festival's main attraction: An ASL interpreter named Holly.
Holly was assigned to interpret for the Wu-Tang Clan and R. Kelly, among other acts, and quite literally stole the show from underneath them.
As Stereogum puts it, Holly "didn't just sign every word, but put back into it."
In fact, Matt & Kim called her onstage during their set, and she was a game participant, satisfying Kim's request she demonstrate the signs for "pussy," "vagina" (note: same sign!), and "Bonnaroo."
Above is a clip of Holly ruling everything around here; below, a short snippet of your new favorite ASL interpreter (sorry Lydia Callis) getting her hands dirty for R. Kelly.
