Yeah man his stans are absolutely insufferable. But then most stans are. A lot of the bands I like have cult followings that I generally keep at arm's length. C'est la vie I suppose.

@mclaincausey Same here.

[mclaincausey]

Is Stans a reference to the Eminem song that has now turned into a term for other celebrity psycho fans?

[mclaincausey]

@seawolf sorry about that

Which would be hours I never got back

[seawolf]

@Giles Ugh. Golf. What a waste of time.

[mclaincausey]

@Mizmazzle yep

@Brian sometimes ignorance is bliss. I find the less I know about pop culture the happier I am

@mclaincausey when your daughter becomes a teenager, pop culture may unfortunately become unavoidable. Ask me how I know…

Edit: actually don’t ask…I mean Sabrina Carpenter made it into my Spotify wrapped if that tells you something ugh

[mclaincausey]

@SKT yeah man she's already a minor Swiftie but loves REM, the Beatles, and Phish too.

A friend of mine is a professional guitarist and one of his side projects is a band that does Taylor Swift songs for kids. So they'll have like the parachute, limbo, etc for the kids and drinks for the adults. We have also gone to ones for Phish and the Dead and I hope to make it to a Beatles one. I actually enjoy even the Swift kids shows. I don't enjoy her studio stuff but I can deal with it for Hattie.

Correlation = causality?

Late to the halftime show talk but wanted to throw my comments in the mix!
I’ve hit the unfortunate point in life where finding new music/artists that turn me up too much a chore and am mostly content w what is currently in the library. Not so stuck in my middle aged ways to deny that there will always be brilliant young talent but again requires too much effort to not only uncover these artists but more so find that anything truly worth enjoying takes multiple views or listens to appreciate the creativity of what your consuming and find that I simply do not give things as much a chance these days.
Back to Kendrick Lamar. I knew who he was (did not know of said Drake beef nor care too much for it albeit mildly amusing) and have heard his music but never knowing who the artist was. Suffice to say it did not really grab me nor was I in an environment to give it much a chance/mostly just heard his stuff in passing and kept it moving. Well along come the Super Bowl halftime show and holy shit what a performance. I was not sure if I loved it or hated it when i saw it live but it no doubt demanded your attention and sure as hell thought about it later. Each subsequent watch had me more and more on board. Now?!? Can NOT get that last song out of my head (nor do I want to) and find my 40 year old white ass shuffle walking all over the place.
