Desert Daze is never what you expect it to be. The music festival designed to be unlike any music festival in the history of music festivals did exactly that, again, for the 7th consecutive year. It rained. There was lightning and thunder and the entire thing nearly imploded in a flash storm on the first night, but the spirit of rock and roll prevailed. “This is America at its finest.” We had photographer Nick Green there to capture the madness after the storm, and boy was there madness. And drugs. And other things we won’t mention. Suffice to say, thousands of people, unfettered by mother nature’s inclinations, were definitely getting dazed in the desert.
