I can imagine that after my experience this weekend.... and yes Burns!, I've never wanted to go either. I hate massive crwods. But for some reason, everything flowed easily. Super mellow and happy was the vibe in general. Fun to walk from area to area and hear/see all the different music. Cool story Chal.

Not all are knuckleheads, but you get that many people together in one place and there are going to be more than a few. Every year there are at least a few acts that I'd really like to see, but I've never been motivated enough to brave it. Reading your piece makes this the first year that I'm truly sorry I didn't go.

While I've never seen him perform, I had the extreme good fortune of literally running into him and Linda on 52nd St. in NYC when I was but a mere babe out of Pittsburgh. Of course I was in a frenzy on the inside but somehow managed to be cool on the outside as I approached them. They were just walking down the street with another guy in a suit. This was 1976 and Wings was hot shit back then-- or just shit to some as they had just released "Silly Love Songs." They took a lot of flack for that from the Paul-haters. Anyway, amazingly, no one else was around on 52nd St. that afternoon and I had them all to myself. I stammered out to them both how much I loved their music. They were as sweet as could be. I remember Linda saw me clutching an NYU course catalogue and she took it out of my hands and leafed through it, saying, "Ahh, I went to NYU. You going there?" I told her I was and asked her if she and Paul would sign the catalogue, which they did, drawing a little smiley face to connect their two names. If you ever want to read what I consider the definitive Paul biography, I recommend Many Years From Now, which serves to set the record straight in great detail on many accounts regarding his role in the Beatles. It's an unmatchable history of an unrivaled era in pop culture. It’s good to hear about Paul at Coachella.
