Starting Back Up
The last time I blogged was February 29, 2020, a few weeks before the pandemic reached the US. Even though I started watching live music again back in May, 2021, I still hesitated to start this back up. This was mainly because I felt like this medium had grown obsolete, while other forms of social…

I was skeptical before going, given that last year’s festival was such an amazing surprise of a lineup. This year’s headliners included Jimmy Buffett, Aerosmith, Fall Out Boy, and Jack Johnson. While not a huge fan of this, I’d…
