You have to give it to Axl, he seems to have shed all that weight. He looked pretty good, just sounded mostly horrible.

Re: Bob Seger - Still the Same 11-24-18 (Farewell Tour)

I saw the final tour when I was working in Albuquerque. Place was a shithole, but he made it sound great and feel like a first class arena. It was fantastic and I was so glad that I went.

Re: Alanis killing it live..

I saw her in Stockholm Sweden about 3 weeks ago. She crushed it. The place (an amusement park called Grona Lund with the stage in the center of the park) was packed. She played for about 1:45 and was fantastic. The only thing I though a bit odd was that for a Woman that empowers women in her songs a...

Re: Kid Rock sends home immigrant employees at his bar to avoid being deported by ICE

If you are going to be as vocal as Kid Rock, you better know what a business you get paid to put your name on is doing. He may not be involved in the running of the business, but he probably should have checked it out at least a little so it matches his agenda. His name and face are all over the pla...
