Not A Minute Longer


Organizers of the Coachella music festival, which took place on 17–19 of April in California will be fined for violating public order, said Prefix. As the local police representatives say, they could keep the stage open only until 12pm and those who are responsible for the concert were warned about such consequences. Every minute of extra performance will cost them $1000. Anyone can understand the reality of bureaucracy that rules over such events as concerts, but each time when it happens the whole idea behind the music and art gets seriously damaged. The first day was finished by Paul McCartney’s performance who kept on playing for fifty more minutes. Those who trully like music, especially if it was performed by Sir Paul should not really care about charging extra dollars. However, they always keep on saying the same stuff like law is above all and forget about everything else. The last day of Coachella was also marked by another incident of this sort which caused The Cure to play without any electricity. The Cure of course was not respected as much as McCartney, plus nobody wished to pay for them. Nevertheless, it’s always rude when bands have to obey and shut themselves from the crowd over some senseless security people.
