lol I love that Habba thinks she can quit a job she never had. That reminds me, I need to resign as the prime minister of Australia.
The Parking Lot Lawyer FINALLY figured out she wasn’t welcome.

And PS: This is a complete and total surrender by Habba.

Saw Tom Petty back in the 80s- his opener didn’t show. He came out, apologized then played the length of time the opener was to have, took an intermission-came back&played his full set, then came back& played multiple encores. I think we got 4hrs total of Tom playing.
An amazing fan-centric artist.

Despite what you hear from fossil fuel-funded politicians, the U.K has just generated a record amount of clean, domestic wind energy.

Enough to power 23 million homes!
