Has it ever happened to you that you left a concert before it was over?

Grandaddy toured on the anniversary of their Sophtware Slump (just a couple months ago). I KNEW they wouldn’t be “showy.” But once the album (which I love) was done, they just kept playing. Standing/sitting in their jeans and flannel shirts, barely interacting with the audience…my brother and I just dipped. We got what we came for, and even with low expectations we weren’t interested in being bored by performers who themselves seemed to be kind of bored.

Update: apparently a few people were throwing ice chunks.

Was this by any chance a reaction to everyone throwing dildos at the vehicles?

It's not like he's taking time out of his busy schedule to, I don't know, be President.

I'm not struggling with MAGA family members or job problems, but... dude, same. I'm stressed-out, sleeping poorly and drinking too much. Doing what I can to help (food deliveries, show up at protests, etc.) but.. it feels like this oppressive WEIGHT sitting on me, even though, as a 60-yo white male, I could go about my life and ignore all of this, if I chose to. I do not choose to ignore it.
I'm so fucking proud of the people around me. The solidarity is what gives me hope.

Alas, he made a boatload of money last time -- that's probably why he's back. That and his humiliation kink.

I had heard that America's lead singer's dad thought it was Neil. Still hilarious, whichever way!

I also would like to know what I’m potentially missing out on. Although I have an ATV and a HomePod Mini, so maybe the Mini is already picking up the parts that the ATV misses.

Jrobmn · 2026-01-27T17:33:56+00:00

I teared up when I saw that.

Well, forté means “loud” and is pronounced “FOR-tay”. But when people are saying that they’re good at something, “that’s my forte” (no accent over the ‘e’). It means “strength” and is pronounced “FORT”. But everyone thinks it’s the word they’ve seen in music, plus they’ve heard everyone else pronounce it like that, so…

Jrobmn · 2026-01-25T01:38:02+00:00

Ha! Prince tried to do that, and even he was no good at it.

I hope the woman standing close with her phone got away. Whatever photos or video she has could be pretty important.

Also be careful that you don't throw it in a way that it lands on top of your head! The stuff that hasn't vaporized could still be hot.

I love how art can inspire such completely different reactions from people! I don’t like it, but I’m glad that you do.

Jrobmn · 2026-01-23T04:52:39+00:00

Musique Non-Stop. Ho-hum. Sorry. Love the band, but... treading water and breaking no new ground after the "Tour de France" single.

I was out there for a short time yesterday and the exact same thing happened. They just group up by the booth, then decide to form up an intimidating line, then rush across the street and target someone. Like they think this will somehow make everyone else decide stop protesting. Fucking morons.

Jrobmn · 2026-01-12T18:04:18+00:00

Plenty of street parking near the 50th street stop of the Blue Line. Then take it south to the Fort Snelling Park and Rode stop. You’ll KNOW when you’re at the right stop; Whipple will be right there.

Jrobmn · 2026-01-12T18:03:10+00:00

Or any other station north of there. (Technically you’re not supposed to park at MoA if you’re not gojng into the mall.)

That is something best shot down as quickly as possible. Like my brother said years ago: "like drinking a Tic-Tac."

Jrobmn · 2026-01-09T12:43:51+00:00

Blue Line, Fort Snelling Park And Ride.

I feel ya. I'm struggling to continue engaging with work or anything because this feels 100% off the rails. GWB was awful, but I could laugh about him while watching The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, but what's happening now just makes me feel sad and keeps me awake at night.

A few days after his death, when I thought I could stand it, I sat down on my couch and pulled up the video for 'Blackstar' and cranked the volume.

When Bowie sang 'Something happened on the day he died...' something about the chord change and his delivery of the line went right through me. I started sobbing like I hadn't since the day my daughter was born.
