A great article and interview about the even greater album Entertainment from the even greater, greater band Gang of Four. I don't know how times I have seen them, but they are in my "five decade club" (bands I have seen in 80's, 90's, 00's, 10's and 20's). Saw them two years ago in Minneapolis (sadly after Andy Gill had passed) and they were phenomenal. https://www.bbc.com/culture/article...s-the-most-blistering-debut-album-of-all-time
And, just like that, I received an email just now that Gang of Four will be in Chicago at the Bottom Lounge on May 8, 2025, as part of their "Long Goodbye" final tour.

Ah man…glad we made the effort to attend the Sacred Rose Festival at SeatGeek when Phil & Friends performed.
Daammmmn! Much gratitude for all the music and excuses to have adventures in many places with many fellow travelers.
