    A couple things:

    1). I lowkey expect Coachella to have a pretty good % pretentious rich folk (Trust Fund Babies) who this ain’t gonna resonate with from an old white dude.

    2). I kinda would have expected AOC instead of Bernie to maybe connect with the younger folk better? But the article says she’s trying to reach Neil Young fans? Why aren’t these roles reversed?

      Spot-on re: 1. When I saw that I thought, “why fucking bother with these people?” Don’t Coachella/Burning Man/SXSW demographics comprise primarily techbros and other guillotine fodder nowadays?
