Industry wonk Bob Lefsetz (who didn't go) reports on the weekend festival:

"Nobody cares except the idiots who went. ... Why in the fuck would the hipsters who go to shows like this, so they can wear it as a badge of honor for the next twelve months, want to see Madonna? ... I say drop a bomb on the site and the music business will be no worse for it. Shit, we'll be saved the endless drivel from the Material Girl. Madonna, are you REALLY that hard up? That you're playing in some tent, not even the HEADLINER?"

Meanwhile, a Madonna fan back from Indio answers in the form of some terrible YouTube footage.

"Madonna singing Hung Up at Coachella 2006, Sunday 8:35pm...the light was too bright, you can't really see her...okay, you can't! But I was there!"

See, Bob? The badge of honor applies to the Material Girl too.

Did you go? Tell us if you saw anything entertaining.
