I was lucky enough to see one of their earliest shows as well! My husband was a mastering engineer for many years and worked on quite a few of their records. The first two are absolutely incredible! They never seem to play Nashville anymore, though.

You should be proud of how your country is responding. I only wish I could be proud of my own country. Maybe someday.

And I am not being snarky or sarcastic here. I am genuinely saddened by this tragedy, and I’m sure that everyone in your country is as well.

So nice to actually see you reading your observations! Always a good reminder to slow down and pay attention. People are endlessly fascinating.

Well, I’ve just read the horrific news out of Australia this morning. Your country has been a powerful example of what is possible with regard to eliminating guns. I hope that your law enforcement can figure out what went wrong here.

I met my husband when he was playing in a new-wave band with a female singer. Also, back in the day in the Kent/Akron scene, there was a group of lesbian art majors that decided to form a band, and they called themselves The Bettys. They were so bad they were good, and their show were always events.
