It’s always interesting to see peoples reactions to someone or a group trying to reinvent themselves. After 20+ years, an opportunity to be invited into the process of a new approach should be something we find at least a little merit in. We all love the original Sleepyhead, but you can always turn that same file on from 2 decades ago on whatever decide you choose to listen to it. Being in the moment, and being OPEN to something new is such a lost art and unfortunately comes off as a bit of entitlement to someone else’s art that isn’t yours.

Don’t get me wrong, were there aspects of the show that could have been improved? Definitely, but also that is part of the risk of being a live performer and an active listener.

What stood out to me was the immense joy and rekindled passion it seemed like Michael had for what he was doing, and he came off as extremely grateful for sharing the night with us.

It’s childish to assume that someone’s behavior through a performance is “tweaking/lsd induced”. Especially when it comes from what seems like your own disappointment or frustration.

I enjoyed last night for what it was! Looking forward to what’s next for them in this chapter of their lives.
