- They tried to kill Coachella before, but this year, they finally got it right. With AC/DC, Jack White and Steely (“making records since Johnny Unitas wore the blue and white”) Dan on board, we can officially stick a fork in this sucker.

I'm going to tentatively guess that Pearl Jam "killed ACL." Though we had Tom Petty very early on and that sounds like the sort of thing this article would despise. Checking. Okay, they didn't even mention ACL. And I don't really understand this article. The Washington Post probably shouldn't try to write about music.
