Does anybody take these "Farewell Tours" seriously anymore?
The only one in recent years that I truly believe was the Genesis Tour, and that's only because Phil Collins was barely physically able to do that one.

This is pretty interesting, I think anyway. Nickelback is participating in a documentary about why people hate Nickelback. consequence.net/2023/08/nickelback-documentary-trailer/For the record, I do think they're a terrible band, and pretty much the poster children for bland grunge lite radio rock of the 2000s, but even I think the hatred of them online is way over the top.

Lizzo, or as we may want to call her, The Pot, is being sued for various mistreatment of employees (aka The Kettle) including fat-shaming.

Another week, another apparent joke/promotional campaign related to what is presumably the upcoming album. The Rolling Stones launched a website where fans can reportedly listen to a 16-second clip of a new song, "Don't Get Angry With Me." But it seems the site rarely plays the song, with a slow "loading time" and message about heavy traffic, etc. Obviously, a 16-second audio snippet doesn't require some massive loading time, and any major band is more than capable of a website with sufficient capacty to allow for what would obviously be serious interest. So, this is clearly all a joke. What's more, angry messages on social media are apparently being replied to with "Don't Get Angry With Me." I tried it twice. The first time, I waited about 45 seconds before leaving the site. The second, it played almost immediately. www.dontgetangrywithme.com

I watched the 2023 Gershwin Prize concert on PBS last night. Joni Mitchell was this year's recipient. The guest artists - including Graham Nash, James Taylor, Brandi Carlile, Annie Lennox, Cyndi Lauper, and Herbie Hancock - performed several of Joni's songs. The highlight for me was when Joni took the stage and sang "Summertime". I was amazed at her voice; how strong, clear, and emotional it was. What an amazing recovery she has made.
Here is the video of Joni's performance of "Summertime" and "The Circle Game":

Wow, aren't they only about a week in? Yep, I think they only did two shows. And, Joey Kramer is not of drums for this tour due to his own health concerns.

That's been going on for years now: as I recall, he had already been forcefully nudged out of the live band prepandemic. If I'm not mistaken, they made him audition for his own job (prior to either a tour or their Vegas residency or something). Tough life being an aged rock star.
