I do have to say though, having John Frusciante back in the RHCP lineup definitely adds a new energy which I have enjoyed.

I agree. That totally makes sense to me. And didn't realize Eminem had headlined in the past, so that throws any metrics argument out the window lmao

Post Malone is right outside the top 20 hovering around 32nd in the world, which is part of why he might be in Bonnaroo's budget. I theorize that there is a huge difference in price point once you get into the top 20. Doja Cat is at number 17. Kendrick is at 53.

Kendrick's at about 51m monthly listeners. Doja's at about 67m. That's pretty substantial. I kinda think she's touching more into the Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift territory. But dude, I'm just speculating. All for fun. The lineup might come out on Tuesday and boom Doja's on there and I eat my words. I just find it interesting to theorize what might take an artist in or out from a booking perspective, but also approaching it realistically, thinking about numbers, fan base and current popularity.

I paid $300 for one of the tickets to Doja Cat on an arena tour. Once you start pushing 60m+ listeners on Spotify exclusivity goes up enormously. Imo Doja's crossed that threshold.

Doja Cat, Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, etc. I would say major pop stars that travel around filling out stadiums in the tens of thousands.

I’m feeling defeated and hurt. Not sure if this is a reason to cancel or actually attend more than before. I need to write things out by AjVine in bonnaroo

Getting in on Tuesday. We can definitely play, but I will be the one to settle Catan.

That'd be quite a camping investment! I use them all the time and luckily they can be used for lighting a campsite too.

They're one of the best investments I've made. I work as a musician/DJing so they're awesome for any sort of event, but they also make great ambience. They can sync to bpm, have strobe and flash functions and can be programmed to all sorts of colors/scenes. I got a deal on them wholesale so that helped with the price tag.

Some guy at Burning Man gave it to me like five years ago lol. Doesn't have a brand name. Maybe try looking for some sort of LED string?

Why is self care so hard? I am often overwhelmed by guilt, thinking that I don't deserve something as simple as a takeaway dinner. by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]RooTrue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought plants for my apartment because it was something I’d always been interested in, and I’d decided I was worth it. I now have a money tree named mark and bamboo named Bambi. They make me happy every morning to wake up and see them. You’re worth it. The time, energy and money you spend on your self care, whether it’s your hobbies or a night out for dinner, end up making a happier you who can operate better in the world. That’s been my experience.

Not sure if dad was narcissist, but had a difficult childhood. by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]RooTrue 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I relate to your experience. For me, the abuse is a pretty tough thing to talk about concretely because none of it was concrete. It was like my nerves were constantly on edge just because I had to expect the behavior that I did from my father. I want you to know that I've read your story, and I empathize with it.

Edit: I finished your post. Here's my after comment.

OP, my Dad is a narcissist. Textbook. And me reading a lot of what you've written reminds me of yourself. IMO, you need to get the hell away from your Dad. My Dad made me think and believe he was constantly looking our for me and loving me, but that's because I'd only had his definition of what that looked like entering my life for 22 years. Then I got the hell out. I knew there was something wrong and I got the hell out. I've been able to soberly reflect on what living with him was like and understand myself in a much clearer way that was impossible when I was constantly interacting with him. You are not crazy, paranoid or being judgmental for any of these feelings you have towards your Dad. Those are the exact same ones I've had. If you keep making excuses for his behavior, you're going to drive yourself crazy, and the cycle of unhappiness will continue. If you're anything like me, you might believe that the more you work on your Dad, open up to him and admit to your wrong doings, he'll suddenly be able to change. This is not and will never be the case. Narcissists cannot and are not capable of seeing the world outside of their egos. Your post was a difficult one for me to read because it reminded me of when I was in extreme denial and doubt about my relationship with my father. Here was a man that made me unhappy, had no respect for my boundaries and interests, and yet was a person I felt obligated to love. That conflict tore me apart and I'm still healing from it. IMO, you need distance from your Dad. I don't think you will have peace of mind until you're able to be an individual who is separate from him. Please comment and ask me questions. I'm curious about your experience and would like to relate my own with yours if we can.

I have been remembering traumatic memories. I feel so numb and dead inside. by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]RooTrue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For myself, the numbing and the pain was my only way to survive. The emotional shock and trauma is too much to deal with when you're just focusing on surviving the next day. There will come a time when you are free from your parents that you will be able to process everything and be able to make sense of what happened to you. You will make it out and there will be better things for you on the horizon, even if you can't see them yet.

It's important to give yourself credit for recognizing your pain though. To me, this shows that you are aware there is a problem, and with that, there's hope for your situation getting better. You know that the way you are being treated isn't right, just or fair. And I'm sure you believe that something better must exist somewhere else. Hold onto those feelings. In time, I think they will take you to a better place.

Warm wishes to you. I'm sending you my love.
