Adam Sandler last night at @rocketarena.bsky.social
Hilarity with special guests Kevin James, Kevin Nelson, Nick Swardson.
And in Cleveland fashion, a Kid Cudi cameo as well.
Oh, and MAGA douchelord Rob Schneider almost ruined it with his hack act.

Incoming: US Catholics who supposedly believe in Papal Infallibility who choose to ignore this Pope just like they did the last one.
Pope Leo XIV weighed in on U.S. politics, saying Catholic politicians must be judged on the full range of their policy positions and suggesting the country's immigration policy is "inhuman."
Pope Leo XIV says 'inhuman treatment of immigrants' in the U.S. isn't 'pro-life'

Mixed feelings about Elvis Costello last night at Akron Civic Theatre. Up and down vocal performance from EC. The Imposters, however, were tight and Pete Thomas is an absolute monster on drums. Happy to hear the older EC songs live.

It was supposed to be a 4 concert week for me last week, but after 1 cancellation (feel better soon David Byrne) there were still plenty of highlights

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel

Last night was my 1st @neilyoungarchives.bsky.social show. He's one of my foundational artists. Listened to my dad play guitar to Live Rust as a kid.
No words. I teared up during Harvest Moon. I've now heard Young and Graham Nash separately sing Ohio in a span of a month within 30 min of Kent, OH.

Arcade Fire's SNL performance was desperate and cringe. The single is bad. Win Butler is questionable at best. Why is the song getting added?
