The reason Coachella sold out in 6 days is...

[kroqken]

Perhaps, but there's a large and growing middle class, and a lot of Americans of Mexican ancestry ... meaning the market is larger than you'd think.

That middle class keeps voting for that right wing National Action Party, known as PAN. I wish the Democratic Revolutionary Party (PRD) had a chance. the PRD won the 1988 Mexican presidential election but had it stolen from them by the ultra-corrupt Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI).

ken fucking breaking down mexican politics. pretty much gold.

I follow politics ALL OVER THE WORLD, from my local city council races in Los Angeles to the Tunisian rebellion. I love politics, indie rock and Leelee Sobieski.

kroqken is just trying to woo someone to offer him a spare fest tic at face value or close to it

This. Zedillo was such a piece of shit, too. He was Clinton's puppet in the whole NAFTA deal.

PS Coachella is, ultimately, a Southern California festival. Bitching about Mexicans at an event in Southern California is stupid if you're some dork from out of state. I don't care if you've been to 10 Coachella's, respect the local culture or keep your white ass at home. I'm white and I say this!

Sorry to say but they are clogging up the freeways.They are not paying a fair share of the tax burden, while using our public health and education systems. If people want to bitch they have the right. I don't hate mexicans, I love em, good food and they know how to party, pretty much makes a culture right there. They just piss me off. As well as being a demographic which GV now has to appease in order to make righteous bux, so we get the Caifines WHO THE FUCK IS THIS?

theres plenty of white people fucking up the country as well.... so enough already. Since 08' Paul T has made it a point to appeal to our southern amigos, he greatly appreciates their support. He announced the lineup from a Mexican radio station that year. And Caifanes is huge to those that know them, doesnt mean you have to like them, doesnt mean you have to blame mexicans for peoples inability to plan ahead and get their tix when they went on sale in early dec.

So what you're saying is that all Mexicans are illegal and we should hold one band being on the Coachella lineup against them.

Allow me to be as ignorant then - I don't give a shit about illegal immigration or "tax burden" or any of the other shit trumped by anti-immigration assfucks who are more interested in washing their neighborhoods of Mexican people than addressing the issue with a real solution. I don't give a shit if Caifanes were booked to bring a certain crowd because so were Arcade Fire, Interpol, Animal Collective and the Kings of Leon, and I don't hear any Mexicans saying "oh stupid fucking gringos and their ****** neo-hipster music, next time these skinny fuckers kick us out of Echo Park we're meeting them with shanks." Just shut up and enjoy the festival, Mr. Arpaio.

[barefootisbestinfairyland]

I'm going to laugh out loud if I see an abundance of Mexicans this year. I think the real reason for the tickets being sold out. One word. Layaway. Get rid of it next year!! Scalpers bought all the layaway tickets to create an illusion of the festival being sold out so they can jack up the ticket prices! March 1st all the unpaid layaway tickets will be rereleased! Everyone still has a chance!

[snowwhyte]

nicely done, i feel educated

[barefootisbestinfairyland]

Nice, you're right. It would've been funnier. Next time.



Sorry bro, didn't mean to get on yer nerves there!



I'm starting to think you don't understand that this entire thing is a joke... is it possible? Are there people out there who are THAT SERIOUS!?! HOLY LORD YOUR SERIOUS LEVEL... IT'S OVER-



The numbers? Yeah... I pulled them out of my ass, actually.

And cancer? Shit's rough man. Shit's rough. I would never compare anything to cancer, but cancer. Or maybe AIDS.



Sorry, I tried to impress you fancy English types by using the word "whomever" later on in my post. You really got me there though. NICE!

Also, I wasn't really bashing Mexico. Even a little. That wasn't really the point.



In summation, you didn't get the joke. Did you really have to type all of that out? Because this has taken me a good amount longer than any other posts I've typed, including the first post of this thread, and to be honest man- I just feel dirty. Fucking dirty, and mean. Is this what it feels like to be you?

Sincerely,
Yuor frieulajdly neighborhud seasponge who can't spell derp derp derp

That guy was a douche with no soul. I like your post, it was the only thing that made me laugh out loud today. I'm also a Latina!

[BROKENDOLL]

I just want the fucking churros to melt in my mouth like they used to instead of having to gnaw on the damn things like last year's!

how do you not have $70 in early dec....??? how can you not save $70....???

really, ur 2nd post and already your making such brilliant assumptions.

yup all illegal, and there music pisses me off. Guess this is what we get for kicking there ass outa CA in the first place and making it into one of the worlds top 10 economies, standing without the rest of the US. I dont hate mexicans I hate the economic and social effects of the poorest of there culture immigrating here and fucking shit up by throwing there USED toliet paper in the corner of the bathroom stall instead of flushing that shit!


Or maybe Im just upset that nobody on the level of Roger Water, Paul McCartney, RHCP, Daft Punk, Fat Boy Slim.... ect being on the lineup Up and comers and mediocrity are great but just Duran Duran doesnt satisfy.

I think I may just need someone to blame and Mexican are such an easy target.


edit: The Brothers gonna work it out

[Bud Luster]

Oh come on, there is at least somebody on the level of RHCP and Fat Boy Slim on the lineup.

[Stickjohn]

are you a rascist pig or do you just come across that way sometimes?

[Monko760]

I did say the brothers would work it out, I coulda came up with better names those have just been in my head lately.

I dunno the mexicans I work with seem to like me.

[exemef]

their will be a mexican parade that celebrates cinco de mayo, dia de los muertos, and mexican independance all at once, on Monday 1am.

A-hua all day haters! Especially Friday.

[superkindskunk]

va a ver ficheras.

[interpolado]

soy de mexico, y me gusta Caifanes (y me agrada la reunion), pero realmente no creo que sea el motivo de que se agotaran los boletos

im from mexico, and i like CAifanes (and im glad they reunited) but really i dont think thats the reason why coachella sold out...

You're right...what we need more than anything in this state/country at the moment are retarded hicks like you that can't even recognize the difference between 'there' and 'their.' You should learn some fucking grammer before rambling about how 'you' kicked Mexicans out of the state and 'you' made it into one of the top 10 economies in the world. I get the impression you're the type of retard that can't pass their community college classes but loves to rag on minorities who "take away jobs and college admission slots."

You should also probably get your facts straight. Mexicans will not even be a minority in the coming decades, so your assumption that they have been kicked out of California is highly ignorant. There are a lot of things that have made California shitty as of late, but the blame can equally be attributed to a wide range of people/races in the state, from the most rich (misguided passage of Prop 13 in '78) to the most poor (illegal aliens using state resources).

I guess what my argument boils down to is: you're a fucking idiot.

Stay in SF you liberal bitch. I said "we" and WE DID. I think there was a time that the land I live on was MEXICAN TERRITORY. So WE as a COUNTRY KICKED THERE SIESTA ASSES BACK TO current day Mexico. Then "WE" as a state created a thriving economy. ALL TRUE. LEARN TO QUOTE PEOPLE!

Yes rich people fuck shit up as well, but they also CONTRIBUTE unlike ILLEGAL FUCKING ALIENS. I understand THEIR struggle and don't hate mexicans personally, just the effect they have on our state.

I'm sorry for my "grammer"(LOL YOU CANT USE SPELL CHECK, nor can you spell!!!), I forgot I was on a message board not writing a novel.



PS Brothers still gonna work it out.

[Monko760]

LOL Coachella selling out is intensely political, who woulda thought. all in good fun see yall at beanerchella.(sorry seriously appreciate the cheap farm labor making my yummy bean burritos more affordable.)

*takes bite of fucken awesome tacos from local taco shop*
