This stupid shit keeps popping up in my news feeds. You would think the algorisms would know I don't care about weird musicians I never of heard of, the fashion trends or the $1000 lunch menu. How it has become a playground for the rich and a Fyre Festival for the poor.
That is all. Thanks for listening.

It’s one place I never played and honestly even today I wouldn’t want to. It’s a narrative that’s been pushed “You can’t miss this!” And kids today believe everything they are marketed. Extreme high prices, out in the middle of no where. Too many people, etc. But that same gen..they market things like it will change your life or you’ll remember this forever so they charge up them credit cards and go.

Played both of those. I think ACL was indoors, so all good. Had security, green room, etc, full escort. SXSW was outside, that sucked. Getting in/out of there, oh my F. Then the people I opened up for, had the biggest audience. 80% of people there. And Bob Dylan was scheduled to go on during their set, on another stage. One of the SXSW employees, with the walkie/CB whatever, and the clipboard, comes up to me and explains that Dylan is pissed and my boys need to end their set early or Bob isn’t going to go on. So he tasked me with climbing up on the stage, between tracks and breaking the news. My boys were pissed, I was pissed, fuck that whole thing.

I had to look this up as I’ve never heard of it. I live under a rock, but I found out this morning we are getting a Buc-ee’s so we are moving up in the world.

I lived in the Imperial Valley south of Coachella back in the early 70’s. What happened that made it a jet setting attraction? Last time I was there it was still a dump. Is there a different Coachella?
Just watched a Sean Ryan podcast about how many AQ are estimated to have slipped through the border in the last 4 years. Perfect target rich environment for an attack

No. My guess is the space is plentiful or ideal.

Just heard some radio host discuss that she had friends of hers go to this and the music ended at 12 am midnight on Sunday and they didn't get back to their hotel until 4 am because it's just so bad trying to get out of there.
NOPE!
