Faith No More!? Maybe I can talk my wife into letting me go. I guess wanting Jim Martin back too, just makes me gready.

I like how every year Coachella manages to raise the dead in their lineup. Unless I’m missing it, they don’t seem to have the usual special huge act this year.

I would say that Jay-Z is a huge freaking act. Just last month when he came through town decent tickets started at $75. I already have my hotel and flight, just waiting for those tickets to go on sale!! I am so excited!!! What does everyone do about getting to the festival site? I am assuming they would have shuttles?

I was taken in by a fake Coachella poster yesterday. I should have KNOWN it was fake, but honestly, my reaction was so gobsmackingly ambiguous, I didn’t know what to do!

On the one hand…SO MANY ACTS I HAVE LOVED AND WANT TO SEE AGAIN!!  
And on the other…“WTF, why are they playing COACHELLA?!” followed by the realization \<if not acceptance\> that I am getting old. ☹

Kind of like making fun of a Barry Manilow concert, and then going to it anyway (a’la Hank Hill).
