Intrigue #2

Coachella!!! Among other must go to before you die music festivals, is a gathering of young to not so young people embracing and engulfing themselves fully into the religious experience that is live music. It is amazing how uplifting a good music festival can be to the human spirit. Looking at photos of music festivals of the past you cannot help but notice the almost euphoric look in the people’s eyes. Dare I say music is a religion? I say this for the simple fact that it encompasses every shred of happiness, sadness, curiosity, self loathing, self deprecating, and love we possess in the human experience, music festival are the church that feeds the masses. Of course many attribute the joyful atmosphere at music festivals to the attendee’s indulgence into music festival’s holy sacraments, weed, alcohol, and psychedelics. But this is not true for a lot of people that attend. It is Intriguing to see people just get high off of music. Having a bad day, pour yourself a couple of glasses of The Killers or get a quick buzz smoking on a little Damian Marley.
May Music be with you :)
