» Coachella Fail – No David Bowie Julie’s Journal

Jan

Pin It

Well there we have it. David Bowie confirmed it on his site. There will be no Ziggy Stardust resurrection at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival this year.

I’m not blaming Coachella or Bowie, I know it’s not them that starts these types of rumors. It’s my naiveness (is that a word?) that wanted to believe what I was reading online was true.

I know, I know. I’m an idiot who believed a rumor that had absolutely no reason to be true. But it’s been such a life-long dream, that my heart took over my mind and I wanted to believe it as fact.

I mean it’s been what, 36 years since Bowie killed off Ziggy Stardust, and I actually BELIEVED he would bring him back to life for my viewing pleasure? What a fool I am.

Suddenly, renting that RV with friends and going to the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival this year seems so not fun anymore. The lineup better be awesome when they announce it or I’m staying home.

They announced the official lineup yesterday, and it’s kind of a let down after all the rumors.

Corrin, yeah nothing really jumped out at me, maybe Paul McCartney a bit We’ll probably still go just because.

Seeing Bowie would have been a dream come true for me. I missed seeing him when I was younger and in NY. It always seemed like something was happening whenever he came there.

Maybe because Ziggy was a single…whatever Ziggy stardust was supposed to be…(alien? glam rocker from transylvania?) and David Bowie the singer is a settled down, happily married man to a supermodel, that he is just not in that “space”.

I have to admit that I heard this on several radio stations (that it was happening) before I read or heard any retraction.
