I must have attended the Friday show. They played 3 encores and Smells Like Teen Spirit, and Kurt seemed happy. I thought the crappy show was the night before, but it must have been after. I’d heard from friends they quit early and Kurt was frustrated.

Women’s lib, uppity blacks, and soft on drugs dems brought down the dignity we used to get from religion and unions apparently, not greedy capitalists and their white daddy enablers selling out jobs overseas and hollowing out entire economies across the county.

“and that toadeater became a word for any obsequious underling. By the early 1800s, it had been shortened and altered to toady, our current term for a servile self-seeker. By the mid-1800s, toady was also being used as a verb meaning "to engage in sycophancy."
