Coachella fallout: Roger Waters pollutes for Obama

Apr 28, 2008, 01:30 PM | by Whitney Pastorek

Categories: Coachella 2008, Music

This is too brilliant not to post, as a coda to the chaos of Coachella's weekend: Residents of the neighborhoods surrounding the Empire Polo Fields here in Indio awoke this morning to what is being described as "something that looked like snow." Apocalypse? No! It seems that the plane flying overhead at the end of Roger Waters' first set, dispensing what we thought was confetti, was in fact dropping thousands of tiny Obama fliers. Can't decide which part of this news tidbit I find more enjoyable-- the extravagance of that gesture, or this quote in the above-linked article from an irate citizen: "All of our gardeners will now have to spend the whole day trying to clean this up." Indeed.

On a related note, I found someone who signed up to get on the bus with Sean Penn.

Anyone else coming across strange residual Coachella news on the internets? Anyone seen the pig?

Litter? Maybe. But all this hoopla? Get over it. Chill. If *anything*... perhaps the Waters camp should pay for clean-up, if it's actually true that he was denied permission and went ahead anyway. But all these people who have nothing better to complain about should get out more often or find a real cause to get behind. Someone should gather up a good bag full of that confetti and put it on eBay. Or, re-distribute that confetti at your next back yard Bar-B-Q. Seriously folks, take the blue pill.

I drive by there every morning on my way to work. There really were a couple dozen people picking up those fliers.

Ceballos Mon, Apr 28, 2008 at 01:14 PM EST

...I couldn't be bothered to laugh myself (also, by "quore", I meant "quote")

Ceballos Mon, Apr 28, 2008 at 01:13 PM EST

My gardner spent a decent amount of time laughing out loud at that quore from "irate citizen."

Green Gummi Bear Mon, Apr 28, 2008 at 12:51 PM EST

Hmmmm...so wasting trees and paper to litter is only cool if it's at the expense of the rich, eh? Good to know...

Well, I know my gardeners could be spending their time doing something more productive! The topiaries don't trim themselves!
