She is by any no means my cup of tea, but it seems it was a great show that made Bolsonaristas and reactionary rock fans very sad and upset. Some of these radicals and incels were planning to set off bombs at the concert. I don’t know if they were just speaking of empty threats, but the federal police didn’t want to hear anything about it and arrested the terrorists by monitoring services like Discord.
I like that there are bands like Phish and the Grateful Dead that have such passionate fan bases. Both bands’ music does absolutely nothing for me, though. I’ve tried listening to both, and it’s just not for me. My guitar teacher is a huge Dead fan, and he’s perpetually surprised that I just don’t really know any of their songs.
Yeah, I’m not into them either… I appreciate them, their talent, fans, etc, but just… not interesting. Probably haven’t done enough drugs…
I had a copy of Live/Dead for ages, but didn’t really learn to appreciate it until listening to it while suffering from a high fever.
There’s a great documentary on this phenomenon from a few years back:
It goes deep into the history and development of the Compact Cassette tape including some fascinating interviews with the engineer that invented it. It goes deep into the millennial fascination with the format, which of course I don’t get having lived through that era the first time around. But that’s ok, because Henry Rollins tells us why we should care.
It’s good stuff.
We actually have that on blu-ray and have not watched it yet…
Fantano on Kneecap and Sharon Osborn.
Haven’t they been on a farewell tour for more than half of their existence now?
Who??
(i had to)
LOL
(Thinking about the concert I went to in 1982, which was billed as a “Farewell” tour.)
Reminds me of stores that always seem to have a “Store Closing Sale” to drum up business.
I didn’t realize it started that early!
A local TV station broadcasted this movie late nite almost 40 years ago. I was tired and didn’t watch it, but everyboody in my classrom did and they were transformed. The boys started to buy used guitars, cuting pipes and bottlenecks to made contraptions to play slide guitar. We were anachronic beatniks.
I legit had the conversation with my partner that a really good double feature would be Crossroads + Sinners. She’s never seen Crossroads, i told her the plot and was interested so need to find time to watch it with her 
Crossroads is such an underrated movie and one of my faves.
It took me two years to watch it. The blues fade was gone by then. But my friends still think it is a cool movie and I can’t deny it. I wish I could play guitar, but a pact with the Devil is out of question.
Oh wow, just became aware of this collaboration between the utterly awesome Nova Twins and Nandi Bushell:
Love the Nova Twins.
Love Nandi.
LOVE THIS.
