Coachella for People Approaching 40
Headlined by Unexpected Joint Pain and The Early Bedtimes
When I found myself travelling in the opposite direction of Coachella traffic earlier this week, I couldn’t help but shake my head at the poor, pitiful souls in that wretched car line. What kind of idiots wait hours to see Green Day?
Well, me, for one. Twenty-four years ago, I waited outside America West Arena on a blazing Arizona day to see Green Day (and it was awesome). So after thinking through their Coachella appearance, I concluded that they remain kind of a lame headliner for a music festival that is supposed to be on the cutting edge of cool, akin to the Oscars nominating Shrek 4. But my bigger problem is probably that a huge music festival just doesn’t sound appealing to me anymore, period.
Or at least, that’s what I thought. Until I spotted this poster for another Coachella, made for people like me. Check out the lineup. Are you guys in?
Special thanks to parttimelarry for building a poster generator that saved me a buttload of time.
Couldn't find a link to it, but some guys were just commiserating last week in a thread about that early morning ceiling stare, that first-cup-of-coffee-before-the-house-is-awake staring-in-the-dark hour. If comments could just be knowing head nods, that's what they were, guys going "Yup." "Yup."
