Pdoggg Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Thoughts on Coachella guys? I have to admit, I haven't heard of most of the bands. Some I've heard of are Blink 182 and Wet Leg. But as some songwriter said long ago the times they are a changin' as Lisa from Buri Ram and her Blackpink crewmates are headliners and Blondie ain't. Idris Elba (Stringer Bell from The Wire) is doing a DJ set. So would you like to be there if you wouldn't look out of place. Or do you think of Coachella the same way your grandpa thought of Woodstock? Was Woodstock fundamentally better or is it same same but different? Think much of it is being live streamed on Youtube for free. https://www.youtube.com/@Coachella/community 1 Quote Link to comment

Seen them many times. Had a major crush on Debbie. Never attended a Coachella. Yeah, times are changing and we’re getting old. Blondie should be the headline, never heard a Blackpink song. Bob is touring Japan right now, checked to see if he stops by Thailand, but nope. Sorry. He’s coming to Europe in the summer again. Got a ticket for the Boss in June. So within a year I’ve seen my top 3. Stones, the Boss and Bob. Not bad. Elvis Costello in September. Roger Waters next weekend. Another very expensive live music year coming up. The live music scene exploded after the covid. Never been better. Beyoncé next month (I’ll pass on that one though). Maradona is also touring this year I believe. 1 Quote Link to comment
Zeppie Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 As it's been said, there is room for everything. Can you really call them musicians? I have no idea if they can really sing, without all the electronic interference. Seems all they are is a choreographed staged act. Maybe act is better description than band. No.they couldn't make it at woodstock. Quote Link to comment
Pdoggg Posted April 15, 2023 Author Share Posted April 15, 2023 Blackpink is just one of many acts at Coachella and I would think they are not typical. But I really don't know as I'm out of touch. How well do they sing? Good enough I suppose. Not nearly as important as their sex appeal and dancing. Probably most important is whoever is creative force and of curse the marketing. I believe these KPop outfits groom the girls from their early teens teaching them whatever is needed to be successful. I think dozens of girls are under contract and there is a winnowing out process. My guess is if these four girls were not chosen and instead four other girls were in Blackpink with the same music, choreography and hype they would be equally successful. This is quite different from the Woodstock bands but perhaps more similar to the girl bands of the early 60's in which the producer was more important than the girls. I would think that some of the acts at Coachella must be fairly decent. Could a whole generation just like crap? 1 Quote Link to comment

Probably the best ever gathering of bands ever! Will never see another event like that. Think of the quality of the electrical and sound equipment then compared to now. No huge screens etc. Just great music from great bands. To me headlined by Jimmy Hendrix who appeared last. Was never a follower of his until then. Joe Cocker, Santana Jefferson Airplane , the Who, and even surprised myself by liking Joan Baez. Nothing like it will ever happen again. The nearest being Live Aid. 2 Quote Link to comment
Pdoggg Posted April 19, 2023 Author Share Posted April 19, 2023 Lisa from Buri Ram did a solo number at Coachella where she was pole dancing. If she had somehow flunked out of KPOP training would she be performing at Soi Cowboy? Would she be hanging with The Sith? 1 Quote Link to comment

It’s a music festival, not a Thai clip joint! Just saw Blackpink Oreo cookies at the supermarket today with pink cream inside. I found a long version of her solo song from Coachella.

He doesn't mention twerking in it as the word didn't exist back then. Otherwise I'm sure he would have. Maybe I should ask an AI program to write a Dylan style tune about money and twerking. Money Blues by Bob Dylan Sittin' here thinkin' Where does the money go Sittin' here thinkin' Where does the money go Well, I give it to my woman She ain't got it no more Went out last night Bought two eggs and a slice of ham Went out last night Bought two eggs and a slice of ham Bill came to three dollars and ten cents And I didn't even get no jam Man came around Askin' for the rent Man came around Askin' for the rent Well, I looked into the drawer But the money's all been spent Well, well Ain't got no bank account Went down to start one But I didn't have the right amount Everything's inflated Like a tire on a car Everything's inflated Like a tire on a car Well, the man came and took my Chevy back I'm glad I hid my old guitar Come to me, mama Ease my money crisis now Come to me, mama Ease my money crisis now I need something to support me. 3 Quote Link to comment
