Coachella has a country cousin called Stagecoach. Why? It's getting to be an all-country world, as country music takes over every facet of our lives. No one has sneaker because now they only sell cowboy boots at the boot stores that have replaced the brand name tennis shoes outlets. Who could ever forget country music heroes Backstreet Boys?! Get this: Diplo's Honky Tonk featured billionairess Paris Hilton on the ones-and-twos who brought out country legend Lizzo, who is slimming down (and Chromeo, Sofi Tukker, and others), to do her big hit:
Not to be outdone, Jelly Roll (on the Mane Stage) rolled out MGK, Shaboozey, Bunnie Xo, Alex Warren, Wiz Khalifa, Lana Del Rey, Ho-di Ho-down Ke$ha, Super Hip MGK, the Wiz Khalifa, or nine featured guests in all. He has lots of friends and even a girlfriend (or possible wife) in Bunnie Xo, his morbid obesity notwithstanding because who has the right to question anyone's weight nowadays especially if that person is rich and famous?
Howdy, I'm here to meet and mingle!

Stagecoach (StagecoachFestival.com) is the name of Coachella's country cousin, coming third in a line of three weekends at the Indio Polo Field (brought to us by the nice folks over at LA's own Goldenvoice productions, one of the first companies/one-man-operations to organize risky punk rock concerts in venues like the Palladium in Hollywood), milking every last drop out of the LA and OC markets by playing to the country music fad that has outlasted rock 'n roll and rap by a few decades now.
Lana Del Rey (aka Lizzy Grant)
It's not a fad. Country's here to stay. So to destroy it and its influence, the music biz has to get it from within. Inject all these inimical forces, LGBTQIA+ influences, watered down crossover hits, and so on. Elijah and the Good Old Boys know what we're talking about.
All your country music favorites are there: Lana "Cowgirl" Del Rey, who's going country on her next release just as the bandwagon is going strong.
There are also these heavy hitting country stars: Jelly "Potato" Roll, T-"Bronco" Pain (doing a cover of country classic Black Sabbath's "War Pigs"), DJ Paris "Rawhide" Hilton, Mumford "General Store" and Sons, "Creeps" Creed, Ol' Nelly, Shaboozey, and a few surprises. Like, maybe, Axel "Cornfed" Rose will show up to wow the crowd of Stetsons and Naugahyde cowboy booties.
Maybe Beyonce will show up and show them how country music is really supposed to be (ehem) or that bestselling rap artist gone country with Miley Cyrus' dad, what was his name? The "Old Town Road" gay Illuminati-joining, right in your face Satanic young fella, who was doing it all in jest just to make it in Hollywood and get out of his sister's house. Taylor "Nazi Barbie" Swift! No, she didn't come up with "Old Town Road," but she did start as a clean-cut cookie cutter country artist -- before falling for the allure of Hollywood superstardom over Nashville.
All the Black artists prove that country music fans were never racist, just slow to get with the urban vibes and give up their slave trade ancestral riches, y'know, the inheritances of land in a biased nation under one flag, the Confederate flag.
It's a Southern thang; y'all wouldn't understand. It's the end of racism, even among all the Trump fans, Republicans, Fundamentalist Evangelical Christians, and secretive interracial lovers.

Today, June 1st, is the first day of summer (if "Summertime" is understood to refer to the most temperate season in the Northern temperate zone) -- the meteorological season, which runs from June 1 through August 31. In the Solar or Celtic season, summer is already a month old. Our "Summertime Sadness" (Lana Del Rey) has already set in, but here's young Darci Lynne, 12, with her rendition of the heartbreaking old-timey tune composed by George Gershwin in 1934, with a ventriloquist twist and shyness that won her the Golden Buzzer from Mel B in 2017 on #AGT (Kids Got Talent) #AmericasGotTalent
African Americans deserve the credit for the best American music!
Here Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong show Darci how it's done.
American musical genius Billie Holiday inspired the world in 1936.
But she covered the song from the 1935 opera Porgy and Bess.
Dhr. Seven, Sayalay Aloka (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly trans. based on Ven. Thanissaro (trans.) Upadana Sutta, "Discourse on Clinging" (SN 12.52); Lana Del Rey ("Get Free" of Clinging); SC
At that time the Buddha was dwelling in Savatthi. There the Blessed One said to the monastics: "In one who keeps giving attention to [pleasant, alluring] clingy things,* craving develops.
[*In other words, things clung to, clingy phenomena, things that offer sustenance or nutriment for suffering/becoming, a specific reference to the Five Aggregates: form, feelings, perceptions, mental formations, and consciousnesses, which is not one unitary thing but many discrete, segmented things.]
"With craving as a requisite-condition there arises clinging/sustenance. With clinging/sustenance as a requisite-condition, there arises becoming.
"With becoming as a requisite-condition, there arises rebirth. With rebirth as a requisite-condition, there arises aging and death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, distress, and despair. Such is the origin of this entire mass of pain and suffering.*
[*"Pain" here is hard to endure physical states, whereas as "suffering" is referring to hard to endure psychological states.]
"It is just as if there were a great mass of fire -- 10... 20... 30 or 40 cartloads worth of timber burning -- and into it a person would time and again toss dry grass, dry dung, and dry timber so that such a great mass of fire -- nourished and sustained by constant additions -- would burn for a long, long time.
"In just the same way, in one who keeps giving attention to clingy things, craving develops. With craving as a requisite-condition, there arises clinging/sustenance. With clinging/sustenance as a requisite condition, there arises becoming.
"With becoming as a requisite-condition, there arises rebirth. With rebirth as a requisite-condition, there arise aging and death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, distress, and despair. Such is the origin of this entire mass of pain and suffering.
Solution
I'm nonclingy (independent) and loving it!
"However, in one who keeps giving attention to the drawbacks of clingy things, craving ceases. With the cessation of craving, clinging/sustenance ceases. With the cessation of clinging/sustenance, becoming ceases.
"With the cessation of becoming, rebirth ceases. With the cessation of rebirth so, too, aging, sickness and death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, distress, and despair cease. Such is the cessation of this entire mass of pain and suffering.
"It is just as if a great mass of fire...were burning, into which a person [were no longer to toss in fuel] so that such a great mass of fire -- its original sustenance being consumed and no more being added -- would, with no more sustenance, go out.
"In just the same way, in one who repeatedly gives attention to the drawbacks of clingy things, craving ceases. With the cessation of craving comes the cessation of clinging/sustenance. With the cessation of clinging/sustenance comes the cessation of becoming.
"With the cessation of becoming comes the cessation of rebirth. With the cessation of rebirth so, too, aging, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, distress, and despair cease. Such is the cessation of this entire mass of pain and suffering."
