All right music fanatics, there is only one week away from the ever infamous Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival. I’ve already seen copious amounts of posts from fans brimming and bursting with excitement. I won’t be attending Bonnaroo 2013 due to work conflicts, and I’m bitter, but I’ve been an avid rooer in the past.

Last week an estimated 9.7 million viewers tuned in to watch the 2013 Billboard Music Awards. Although more than 20 awards were given, certain artists seemed to sweep the trophy table. Taylor Swift took home eight categories, Rihanna won four and my girl, Nicki Minaj, took home three awards. Although these artists obviously make melodious music, the Billboards are voted on primarily by the fans.

Great stories, such as The Great Gatsby, cause us, as the audience to develop a connection with the dynamic characters. For instance, we want to know what Jay Gatsby would do on a Friday night in Auburn or what Daisy Buchanan would think about our new, favorite dress. As we rationalize what decisions these characters would make in our world, we must also wonder how they would level up in our digital workplace.
