On the off chance that any of my followers are not bots and in Richmond, we’re playing at Northside Grille at 8:30 tonight

You will be visited by three spirits
December 9, 2025 at 11:24 AM
The Allman Brothers Band (1994)
Tito Puente (1996)
Tedeschi Trucks Band (2010)
Wilco/Sleater Kinney (2021)
Neil Young (2025)

I actually wanted to include another show from 1997 instead of Puente, but a brief perusal of the internet can only confirm one of the bands my memory says was on the bill.
Jeff Buckley (1995)
The Everly Brothers (2004)
Bob Vylan (2024)
An Iggy Pop tribute show with Clem Burke, Glenn Matlock, and on lead vocals Katie Puckrick (2024)
Sir Willard White and the Brodsky Quartet (2017)
Introduce yourself with five concerts you’ve seen:

Doc Watson (1966)
Harry Partch (1970 or 1971)
Television (1977)
Cafe Tacuba (2009)
Rhiannon Giddens (2025)

Well the South Side, of Chicago is the baddest place I’ve seen, and if you go down there you better just beware of a man named Leo Fourteen.

(i realize I’m putting a [pope] hat on a hat here, but I can’t help myself)
The screen door slams, Mary's dress sways
Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays
Roy Orbison's singing for the lonely
Hey, that's me and I want you only
Don't turn me home again
I just can't face myself alone again

I was actually thinking after I commented, that you *could* make the argument that the overwritten prose is part of building up the shaggy dog nature of the full post leading to the twist. Given the dumbassery of the people involved I’m loathe to credit them for anything though?

Nice job, nitwit. How’s that positive reinforcement panning out.

On the small chance that any of my followers are a. not bots, b. in Richmond. We are playing at O’Toole’s tonight (we’re good, and may have a fun sit in or two)

Genuinely has anyone *ever* been owned so badly as a man who converts to a new religion as an adult and sorta makes it his whole thing only to see the literal head of that religion rebuke his entire deal and then they choose the NEXT head of the religion specifically because he doesn't like you

Inside you are two bass hits, one of them is an 18” Gretsch drum, the other is a very large violin.
Inside you are two towers. One has nasty little hobbitses, the other has an orc problem.
Inside you is one player. They are ready.
