Madonna's No Woodstock Girl Tuesday, May 02, 2006 By Roger Friedman
If you ever wondered whether or not Madonna would have been a welcome performer at Woodstock, heres the answer: No.
Madonna performed over the weekend at the Coachella Valley Music Festival in California, a famously '60s-like music event where fans and performers mingle and everyone has a good time.
Does this even sound like something our Madonna should have gotten herself involved in? Madonna? With the Brit accent, the facelifts and the servants?
And so it was that Madonna was roundly booed by the Coachella audience after showing up late on stage in a small tent. She then performed only six songs really that no one has much affection for "Hung Up," "Get Together," "I Love New York," "Ray of Light (2006 Version)," "Let It Will Be (Paper Faces Mix)," and "Everybody (2005 Version)."
She slagged George Bush in one of them, but thats to be expected. Dont forget, she tossed him a live grenade in a video a couple of years ago.
Funny: Madonna doesnt like Bush, but she could learn a few things from him about working a crowd.
For one thing, Im told that Madonnas team unlike the other acts printed special name tags for security and kept everyone away from her tent. The private backstage passes ruined the communal feeling of the event, says a source.
How Madonna got into Coachella is an interesting story, considering that on the day she appeared Sunday the other main acts were cutting-edge types like Tool, Massive Attack and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
On Saturday, the acts included Devendra Barnhart, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and Sigur Ros. In other words, this aint no foolin around.
But one observer claims that Paul Tollett from Golden Voice, which books the shows, turned down previous offers from Madonnas team for her to play there.
It was only after a personal call from Madonna that Paul decided to put her on, says the insider. She pleaded with him, and pulled out the dance music card, telling him how much it would mean to her.
And the impact has been felt on the Coachella message board, where Madonnas reviews from the fans have been decidedly negative.
As one wrote: Anyone that shows up wearing $10,000 fake eyelashes to an arts festival, you know is mocking you already. But on the brightside, I was gonna decide on buying tix to her tour based on her performance sunday [sic]. Thanx Madonna for saving me cash.
