Adding to the shittiness was the fact that we had to sit through an hour of a dj's set. Which is fine if you are at a club going dancing, but not fine when you are sitting down and waiting for a show to start.
So what's your concert schedule looking like?

I think he had fun, but was really bored by the dj and was kind of tired by the time it started. I had to have a little chat about how the Beastie Boys grew over the years and that we need to remember that.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑01 Dec 2021, 2:30pmThat's a shame all around.

They also made zero attempt to sound like them. Like the Ad Rock didn't sound bratty and the MCA didn't sound gruff.

Re: So what's your concert schedule looking like?
Not sure if I mentioned it already, but I'm taking my mom to see Jackson Browne and James Taylor tonight for her birthday. She's a big fan of 70's singer-songwriters. On one hand, I've heard many of these songs since I was a little kid, so they're etched into my mind. On the other hand, it's not a show I'd ever think of seeing on my own. I can always respect a good performance, however.

Went to see Corridor last week — they were great. Sounded like The La's one song, then Wire the next.
First show since early 2020!

He would have about as much interest in this board as I would in a Phil Collins sex tape. All he cares about right now is hockey.

A hearty pat on the back for having no interest in hanging out with us; a wagging of the finger to caring about snow soccer.

Congratulations, that's a "good son" move. I'm sure I'd do the same with either of my folks, but I'd probably bring some ear plugs along.WestwayKid wrote: ↑02 Dec 2021, 1:58pmNot sure if I mentioned it already, but I'm taking my mom to see Jackson Browne and James Taylor tonight for her birthday.
