My thoughts and prayers go out to the people currently nearing the end of their long wait at the front-stage barricades during Coachella’s second weekend. Last Sunday, I spent over 12 hours doing that — with no choice but to stand for about 10 of those hours — so I could be front row for Cardi B and headliner Eminem<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My companions included my Twitter friend Naz, whose eagle eye spotted us in this photo of Vance Joy, the performer who came on at 4:45 p.m.<\/p>\n

The set was short but sweet. I love #cardib ! #coachella #coachella2018 #cardiblive #bardigang #cardibatcoachella #cardibconcert #frontrow #frontrowatcoachella. (Too bad the guy who owns Coachella is the worst. He also owns AEG Live which is one of the two big music monopolies. You pretty much have to give up live music to avoid him. That\u2019s why monopolies are bad, kids! No fucking choices.)<\/a><\/p>\n
