“Oldchella,” the forthcoming six-day classic rock festival (10.7 to 10.9, 10.14 thru 10.16) happening at Indio’s Polo Club (where Coachella unfolds every April), has been referred to as Desert Trip, which is what the promoters are attempting to call it. Yes, I agree that it’s not the age of the dog in the fight but the size of the fight in the aging dog, but I still wouldn’t attend with a gun at my back and a $1000 cash bribe. I’ve seen The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, The Who and Neil Young in concert before in much cooler indoor venues (i.e., minus the presence of thousands of balding, pot-bellied, sandal-wearing beefalos). Leave it there.
