Concert Last Night

Last Night, i saw Bonnie Raitt. what a great artist. She is 75 yrs old btw. when she sang Angels From Montgomery by John Prine, it almost made me cry. It was so beautiful.

THEN she started ranting at least 3 times about politics. I think she forgot she was in Trump Country REALLY close to him.

I respect her opinion but i paid to see her sing, not hear her rant about politics. i will post her pics from my phone. [media=https://youtu.be/toJ3ZYWRh24]

You are kidding? 75??? If she she is 75 then I would be in my eighties? Oh GOD!!!

Seriously, we almost caught Raitt and Prine together like 20 years ago. The Austin City Limits annual shindig. Daughter was living in Austin then and we had tickets to catch Raitt, Prine, Lucinda Williams and Lyle Lovett on the same stage.

But then one of those massive hurricanes hit the Houston area and sent everyone running, and ACL see-sawed on cancelling everything, and we decided to not contribute to the confusion :(

@Heartlander omg.. . what a line up that would have been. i was going to say nothing but a natural disaster would have stopped me...LOL

@akindheart They had called for a Houston evacuation, and that turned into everyone fleeing north or west ... to Austin, San Antonio, etc. Until the day or so before they were see-sawing over cancelling it to free up hotel/motel accommodations. I think it was the year Lucinda had a bit of an on stage melt-down that got a bit of attention. Some of her songs have complicated lead ins and there was a bit of out of sync requiring a start over.
