The Mayor of Coachella

Expect little in the way of Televisionary insight from me today (as if you have ever expected any) as I am soon to be en route to the Coachella music festival, just so I can discover what a true clusterf@%& of a traffic jam is like from which I will issue dispatches on the whole crazy hippie-vs.-Yuppie scene, what desert-sun-induced third-degree burns feel like, the resonant moral lessons to be cadged from a mob mentality … oh, and, yes, the music. There will be music.

We’ll also discuss how just how much tinier the already sizably tiny Prince looks from a football field or two away.

And what a 75-year-old or so man is thinking, performing Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon” 30 years after the fact.

And what Sean Penn’s doing there onstage. (Really!)
