I May Need Glastonbury

The big music festivals have posters that list all the bands playing, and they usually follow the same form:

The biggest acts are at the top, and they get the biggest print.  As you go down, the performers are harder to recognize, and their names are harder to read.  It occurred to me that this format is not unlike another famous poster:

Both posters seem harmless enough to young people. But for older people, they cause some trouble the further down the poster you go.  The eye chart reminds you that your sight isn't what it once was, and the festival poster reminds you that you aren't as cool as you once were.

But the good news is that for many people, their eyesight and coolness deteriorate at the same rate. you haven't heard of the musicians named at the bottom of the lineup, but that's okay, because you can't read that far down anyway. Who's playing Coachella this year? Radiohead, Lady Gaga, Kendrick Lamar... um, some other people, I'm sure I'm familiar with as well.
