@#6 ... which is one reason it's interesting. ...
For me, and i say this just for myself, if I go to a concert nowadays, I'd want to see a current group.
Since I listen to "alternative radio" and college stations, the group I would choose to go to see would be fun and interesting, and current.
But, sadly, I am unable to attend concerts anymore.
Noah Kahan is an artist I'd like to see in concert.
He came to fame during the COVID crisis, and now seems to be a major arena act.
While I wish him well for his success, I am sad because I did appreciate his earlier works.

[Verse 1]
As you promised me that I was more than all the miles combined
You must've had yourself a change of heart like halfway through the drive
Because your voice trailed off exactly as you passed my exit sign
Kept on drivin' straight and left our future to the right
Now I am stuck between my anger and the blame that I can't face
And memories are somethin' even smoking weed does not replace
And I am terrified of weather 'cause I see you when it rains
Doc told me to travel, but there's Covid on the planes
[Chorus]
And I love Vermont, but it's the season of the sticks
And I saw your mom, she forgot that I existed
And it's half my fault, but I just like to play the victim
I'll drink alcohol 'til my friends come home for Christmas
And I'll dream each night of some version of you
That I might not have, but I did not lose
Now you're tire tracks and one pair of shoes
And I'm split in half, but that'll have to do
...
"season of the sticks" here in New England is the fall. When leaves and branches fall off trees.
