Do the organizers of this corporate indie fest really think that the average Jesus and Mary Chain fan is earning a lawyer’s salary? $250 for a 3 day pass and $8 beers? 3 days of sweltering in the California desert surrounded by lawyers could cost you $700 without really going overboard.
I for one would love to go, but, will need to content myself with seeing drunken clips on You Tube the following week. Or perhaps I can buy the DVD at Christmas only to find it has the same drunken clips that were on You Tube.
In addition, as diverse as I am, there are alot of bands that I would question have they earned 6% of the $700 I spent. Why don’t some of these acts include a tour which captures some of the less obvious markets scattered between Empire Polo Grounds and Plymouth Rock.
If this sounds bitter, think of me with my refrigerator, warm shower and air conditioning as you spend $10 per hour over the 3 days. Maybe next year, Terry Hall will support The Wedding Present on the newly added 4th day, which is free.
