You could call it ?Recline? or ?Reclining? because three of those ideas have archaic, or primitive connotations (for better or worse):
Petrol, or fossil fuels in general, is generally seen as ?bad?, yet we rely on it, this is similar to the violent themes associated with soldiers and war (the idea that though it is horrible, there is some form of necessity in it - you could have him being a WW2 veteran). Similarly, you could argue that music festivals appeal to people because they demand that the crowd let, amongst other things, social order, organisation and general sanitation, slip. This gives them a primitive, earthy experience for the crowd.
Not sure where the journalist would fit in, maybe more as a ... would you call it 2nd person afterthought? I don?t know if you?ve read it, but you could have the journalist character being a bit like the modern day woman in Birdsong; with a more reflective perspective?
Don't know about the plot but it sounds like a bit of fun!
Good look with your work
