What Are You Listening To?

The autobiography is just fantastic... I have read over 200 pages and am only in 1977....although he jumps around all the time

I should have learned by now never underestimate Elvis... first time I saw him live he opened for Dylan at Merriweather..solo acoustic..I thought it was going to suck...blew me away...so intense

I could deal with an Elvis Costello show right about now

This may be the wrong thread, but someone please quote me.

If and when regular concerts are back at small clubs in the US in 2023, I pledge to go to a show a week to try and hit at least 25% of the volume that challenged goes to. I vow to never be lazy and skip shows that I'm even somewhat interested in.

+1



I hope it happens late this year or 2022



I don’t know that I can make it to 2023!

I wish my job allowed me enough personal time to even consider a show a week.

I expect ticket prices to be higher than they were pre-pandemic. Save your money now, kids.

I desperately want to go to a festival. SXSW or something on the east coast.

If you are into hippie and bluegrass music a festival in New River Gorge West Virginia just got announced for June with a ton of bands that I am sure will be magically delicious.

[StoneTheCrow]

Magically delicious because of the bands or regardless of the bands?

Oh I'm sure you know exactly what I mean.

Nice link.. .and I think it's already postponed.

[WALKonBack]

Well then.  Too lazy to link.  The kids . . . will figure it out.

Spent 2 years of my youth about thirty minutes from where that was being held. I have no idea how Oak Hill has infrastructure for many visitors.

The New River Gorge is absolutely gorgeous. 
The place where the fest is a big campground/cabins already.  I went on a 2-day, one-night (camped on the shore of the NR) white water rafting trip starting at that location...Highly recommended!  CAT 5 rapids on the New River!

My worst nightmare...camping and a hippie fest with bluegrass

The New River Gorge is absolutely gorgeous. 

It is. And it’s also in the heart of the most soul-crushing, endemic poverty any racial resentment you will ever experience. I hated living there but I am thankful that I did so at an age where I could process the connections between poverty, white resentment, and political views that continue to ring true today. And remember, I lived there when it was, maybe, the most Democratic voting state in the country. Robert Byrd era.
