Hey--What's Sean Penn Doing On The Coachella Bill?
Posted by Seth at 5:25 AM on April 25, 2008
As you attend to last-minute arrangements and packing for this weekend's Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (Off! brand Andy Dick Repellent? Check...Sarah Jessica Parker inflatable love doll? Check...), we guide you to these handy timetables of set times, paying particular attention to an artist scheduled to appear shortly after 2 p.m. Sunday.
While we have yet to receive any confirmation on this, we have every reason to believe it will be the actual Sean Penn who appears on the emerging-talent Gobi Tent stage, and not just some Brooklyn-based, post-klezmer-dance-punk outfit with an ironic name. Hollywood Elsewhere even goes so far as to wonder if they might be shooting an outdoor rally scene for Gus Van Sant's Milk. It's certainly possible, what with the seamless confluence of that film's end-of-a-disco-era costume requirements and the obnoxiously self-aware hipsterwear already on display at the Empire Polo Fields. But if that is the case, the filmmakers will have to pray that the hot, drunk crowd cooperates, and doesn't spoil the solemnity of a great moment in gay rights by holding aloft their iPhones and screaming, "Spicoooooooooollllliiiiiiiii. WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

Drunken Madonna covers. On a ukulele.

Man, he's totally going to bum everybody out right before My Morning Jacket.

I think they meant Eddie Vedder. I can't tell them apart either.

Maybe he's gonna reinvent himself as a hard-nosed, hard living standards singer ala Frank Sinatra. Tell me you wouldn't wanna see that, at least a little?

He is on the Coachella stage as well from 634 - 7.

@Seth: I didn't say they were interesting, but we all know how the hipster tide ebbs and flows at Coachella.

At risk of being really obvious or really stupid or both, might they have meant Sean's musician bro, Michael?

I saw the Shout Out Louds at the Henry Fonda, and I can honestly say that was the most boring concert I've seen in the last four years.

And he's between Gogol and MMJ on the main stage. Good times.
(Which is good, because no one is trekking over to the Gobi while the Shout Out Louds are playing.)

Maybe he will do spoken word on the inner beauty of Petra Nemcova.

I have a feeling he's probably just going to stand up there and smoke, because he fuckingwell can.

Nope, Sean's rehearsing with his new Emo band, Wilderness Embrace, as we speak.

Who cares. Roger Waters is going to be there. All else is moot.

@NoWireHangers:

seriously, 30 minutes is not NEAR enough time to shoot a speech scene for a film...
@Mark Graham:
