Re: The Live Music thread...
the fam and i went to some shed about 40 minutes south of Cleveland last night to see Noah Kahan. I think there were 20,000 people there - and pretty much everyone sang every freaking line. Stunned at how big this guy has gotten. He and the band were quite good live. ((also major points to the most ...

I'll probably never stop with 2 spaces after a sentence - not out of any middle-aged stubbornness but it's just so engrained - it's automatic. Like right there I had to force myself into the one space.

no anthems or other bullshit. it's real nice. One thing I like about watching English soccer is that if the game is scheduled to start at 5:00, it starts at 5:00.
