Elderly Winnetka Couple Filmed On Free Trip to Bonnaroo Music Festival

A Winnetka couple in their 70s was featured in the comedy website Funny or Die’s “Old People at Bonnaroo” video, detailing their experience at the popular rural Tennessee music festival targeted to music fans in their late teens and early 20s.

Neil and Anne Burghard, of Winnetka were taped alongside a Tennessee couple also in their 70s, for four days.

According to a Chicago Tribune report, the couple was shown “dancing with headphones at a silent disco, talking with singer Ben Folds, waving their hands during a Kendrick Lamar performance, trying to take a selfie on a Ferris wheel, eating ice cream pops, napping and discussing their musical tastes.”

The Funny or Die video, which can be seen here, was posted Monday.

“Our children and grandchildren are so impressed that we’re able to do this,” Neil Burghard said in the video.

He explained on Facebook he answered a casting call “for older people to do a reality video” and won the expenses-paid trip.

He later wrote about the eye candy that came with the free trip.

“So, my sons you have approximately 45 to 50,000 20 something females wearing bikini bathing suits who look good VERY, VERY good in those skimpy suits. And today I saw my first topless young lady and I must say she looked pretty darn good.”
