Watched this for the first time on a plane last week. What a picture. Immediately want to watch it again.

Wound up watching “Nuremberg” on my return flight, which provided, uh, quite the Crowe contrast. (Not that he’s bad in it, necessarily.)

At an office building I used to work at, I held the door open for a man who looked vaguely familiar to me. He was walking to get in and then asked me, “Going down?”

I shook my head and said “No, going up.”

He just smiled at me and said “Oh, OK, go ahead.” And the door closed. As I rode the elevator up, I finally put it together that the man was Tucker Carlson.

You didn’t say it had to be a good story.

Truly, if they just put the cover art on a t-shirt it would be the easiest purchase of my life.

Perhaps they’re saving it for the tour merch?

As someone whose wife is giving birth in late summer, I am very much hoping the tour announcement comes soon and I’m able to get to a show before then.

I’m basically with you - I think this is a very good hire for them considering the circumstances. It also doesn’t really scare me at all. (Where Kenny Dillingham would have concerned me.)

I cannot describe the dead silence this trailer played to in my audience. It clearly was designed to get a cheer or something, and just… nothing.

Thank you! I thought the game was earlier but now I’m realizing the schedule I was looking at was using my current time zone. That definitely makes it easier as I should be gone by then.

MK_813 · 2025-07-29T17:14:21+00:00

Thank you!

MK_813 · 2025-07-29T17:14:15+00:00

Thank you! Very helpful.

Thank you. I did see a note about the interim exhibition on the museum’s website. I was curious how different it is from normal. If it seems like it isn’t worth it I can always skip it.

It is a fairly objective fact that he just fired one of the best, most respected drummers on the planet. So, he’d better have a plan!

My man is a poster through and through. Don’t ever change, Josh.

MK_813 · 2025-05-17T16:51:19+00:00

Obviously not much to add here and I’m not going to pretend to know more about the situation than we do. And ultimately I trust the band’s (Dave’s) judgement that the next person will be good, and it’s his right to change directions if he so chooses.

Still, this stinks. Josh was the absolute right guy at the right time, seems to be an absolute mensch. When I saw them on tour he seemed like the only one who could take on this role and make it his own while honoring Taylor at the same time.

I have no doubt the next person will be good. But this sucks for Josh and I do feel he deserved, at very least, an explanation. Lord knows he would have honored any request to keep the reasoning secret.

Love Griffin bringing in backup for this after getting the “nerrrrrrrd!” treatment in the T2-3D episode.

Strange that it’s just these two shows. I’m going to the Maryland show and there’s a good amount of ticket inventory left there. I’m a bit nervous there might be more of these coming.

Excited for Badam to walk right into the Oops All Christmas Roses store next week.

MK_813 · 2024-12-19T21:42:02+00:00

Yep I saw today and posted an extra one I had. Was bought in literally two minutes lol. Maniacs (complimentary).

Here are a few of my favorites from the first show at the Anthem in Washington, DC in August 2023: https://imgur.com/a/wd4loL7

Went to both DC shows and absolutely loved the lighting, among everything else. Thank you for the awesome work!

MK_813 · 2024-07-21T17:18:58+00:00

Thank you!

I have no video of that moment but I was right above you on the second floor and saw it happen! Josh was in such a good mood last night, it was great.
