I like the song “Anna Molly” so I like at least one song of theirs.

I’m not a fan by any means but to pretend Dolly Parton didn’t look like a goddamn bobblehead up there is just crazy. She can certainly still sing, though.

I’ll admit, I was surprised at how well Post Malone could sing. Never knew he had it in him – all of his tracks I’ve heard have been your typical auto tuned club vocals. With that being said, I still didn’t enjoy his performance or the songs. 🏻‍♂️

I’m here for you buddy. You wanna know something that’s embarrassing though, for most of last year when Brandi Carlise’s name came up I, no lie, thought it was Belinda Carlisle. I just figured she had pivoted to adult oriented late career folk. So while, yes, I was making a terrible joke. I’m actually really that stupid.

I’m certainly not a fan but I think she’s really good at whatever that thing she does is. But watching her absolutely do a caricature of someone “rocking out” during a song that CLEARLY does no such thing was some theatre kid fucking nonsense. Do people love her so much that they can’t see how false and contrived her entire stage presence was during that song?

Whatever, he was great. The Chili Peppers are pros even if you don’t like what they do. I mean, there’s room in music for big fun party bands who deliver the hooks.

Post Malone’s voice is incredible, and he has loads of charisma.

I thought they saved it. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not listening to new RHCP in my car (or anywhere for that matter) and they aren’t the most polished live band, but they are hella fun to watch live. It’s almost comical how much energy these dudes still have and Flea was blowing it up on the bass as usual. Once Malone got out there, he was looking around like WTF? So much more fun to watch than Malone walking around backwards in a foggy hallway.
