    The DL: The Music Insider - Coachella

    This weekend marks another year of hip and happening music at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Southern California. We figured the best person to cover the event was our very own Paul Cronkite. We got him backstage passes and sent him out with a camera crew. But the weird thing is that the guy left for the desert a week ago and we haven't heard from him since. We did find this video, however, which shows the intrepid reporter doing his best to cover the event, but the man himself is still M.I.A. And no, that wasn't a reference to M.I.A. If for some reason you see Mr. Cronkite, let him know we need our microphone back. Our budget is, like, non-existent
    More Cronkite

    i am not surprised at all.I saw him weeks ago via webcam. I was contacted by him first on a celeb site called 'SearchingMillionaire dotcom'! I also got several of his pix.
    it's common to meet celebrities on that site. That's why I joined it recently

    Paul Cronkite, You are one funny dude! Next time try and keep your pants on! This is the second time you've removed your pants! At least with the computer your pants didn't catch on fire! Ouch!
