Oh my. I shouldn't have missed those muliptle chances to see Springsteen in London over the previous decade. What a show last night.

Saw him in Barcelona a few weeks ago. It was magnificent. So much energy at that age. Usually whenever I go to a show from these old dinosaurs it's a bit sad because the age shows and the performance is rather lethargic and carried by the background musicians, not him though. He still owns the stage.

Saw a post of r/wien this morning about a guy asking for recommendations for accommodation for three days in early August, and asking why all offers he sees are so expensive.

People pointed out that his dates are identical with the 3 concert dates for Taylor Swift in Vienna. :D

Always partly reluctant when it comes to seeing aged artists who had their heyday 20 years or more ago. Then again, some of the best concerts I've seen were New Model Army and Billy Idol around 2010. Not to mention 2 acts at Donauinselfest (they were free, so no risk) - Kim Wilde, and - feel free to laugh - Goombay Dance Band. The singer was belting his classics (Sun of Jamaica, Seven Tears etc.) ... and still had it. And singing live (seen plenty artists there doing playback) as well.

Saw the Pet Shop Boys and it was fine - but then they've always been carried by backing bands/dancers and are not known for energetic stage performances :lol:

Lawful neutral unless (until :P ) I lose the clip, then chaotic neutral. Now with the paper clips it's becoming more often.


*Edit* using a elastic band isn't neutral, that's just crazy.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Varies. Lawful Neutral or Neutral Evil.

A more important question is if you put it in the fridge or not.

Lawful good. Though it was only really properly effective for a few weeks after buying then the seal stopped fitting together right. It does still make a difference though.

I've never encountered someone who puts bread in the fridge.
Freezer though yes.

If you're freezing bread you're buying too much bread :P
