From the Guardian rag. Beyoncé as corporate black feminist idol.

Quote:

When she headlined Glastonbury for the festival’s 40th anniversary, in 2011, it was big for Beyoncé. Tonight’s performance, in the slot she was initially scheduled to do in 2017 (before announcing her second pregnancy), is big for Coachella.

...

Thus begins a show that is somehow not just about Beyoncé. She makes it about far more than her or her career: it’s about black excellence, female power and the unrelenting possibility of self-belief. She has only a handful of white dancers among a reported 100. WTF? Her set is in thrall to soul, jazz, gospel, dance, melody and music itself. With her second song, Freedom, she creates a literal movement with her orchestra in motion; it feels like a march for purpose.

Tonight, Beyoncé plays political as fiercely as she plays feminist. During Sorry she hones in on the line “suck on my balls” with furious wrath. She flits between going hard and expressing sweet graciousness towards the audience during her addresses. The artistry of the transitions between songs, and the travel across her 20-year catalogue – combined with the sheer awe of scores of people on stage moving and playing in perfect unison – proves that Beyoncé is in a league of her own. She is the greatest of a generation, both a leader of a huge group and a solo star of unconquerable talent.

...

There is clearly a double entendre to the notion of wokeness, but the show doesn’t get woke at the expense of actually waking everyone up to the joy and togetherness of live performance. EDITOR

...

Mid-way through the set, Beyonce had turned to the crowd and, with total sincerity and humility, said: “Thank you for allowing me to be the first black woman to headline Coachella.” The crowd left the Polo fields with only one thing to say: “I was there.”

What is it with the left jumping on the "woke" train and totally misusing it? Every time I see some rag article, they talk about their leftie stars being "woke".

"LOOK AT MEEEEEEE!!!!!" Coachella 2019 - back and better than ever

If a purge were to start I hope it starts at one of those places. Gives the sane people a chance to GTFO.

Imagine being the cuck earning $300,000/yr who marries one of these mummified cumdumpsters because "we both like the same music".

Since the myspace days i've always hated the "music is my life" tagline. It's such bullshit, music is nothing but a convenient brainwashing device and proxy for social status for most people and nothing more. Fuck anyone who says that shit.

It’s just not Coachella without:

- leather-cowboy-dreadlock Rasta white chick
-her son(notice the hand position), pink socks soy boy who still doesn’t need to shave thanks to all those tofu veggie stir fries
-wrestling team Captain America in flip flops
-annoyed sweaty office boy in glasses who stole some girls urban outfitters hippy Indian cowhide purse purse to cover up the crotch sweat on his Abercrombie undies
-a young rose macgowen getting puked on
-a chick in a giant pair of granny panties
-Several Grace Jones looking dudes in assless chaps
-rainbow hair fake lips/tits Asian chick in Dolce & Gabbana Riddler outfit
-Vin diesel in a Hawaiian metal shirt with beard girlfriend who can’t even look at him
-An open mouthed HUMAN JERKOFF STATION
-Lisa bonet in a slimer shirt, and
-twins in inverse matching playboy baseball jerseys on their day off from pretending they’re Justin Bieber

They all sure look happy.

As far as my experience goes, people who actually are into music and give a shit about it don’t ever mention this festival. Musicians, independent/free form radio DJs, supporters of any scene...these people still exist, fucking hustling like motherfuckers. Not for any money worth speaking of, but purely because they like what they do or want to help and support the people that are doing it.

All of them look like bad guys out of early 90's beat'em up arcade games.

[Handsome Creepy Eel]

Yes, if in an early 90's beat'em up arcade game you load the game and find that all the bad guys have already died from drug overdose.

These people make the participants of Burning Man look like adventurers and explorers.
