I’ve been to several Queens of the Stone Age concerts. But my first, at The Ryman Auditorium in Nashville in 2011 was the best concert I’d ever been to.

They were playing the reissue of their first album. So the first part of the concert was that album, from start to finish. Then they played other songs. And afterwards they did 2 or 3 encores. I think it was 3, but it was at least 2.

That venue is the old Grand Ole Opry. The seats are narrow wooden pews and it’s got gorgeous stained glass and lots of wood. So it sounds amazing in there.

Except that Nintendo gets more hostile to it’s customers every year. The hardware, outside of the thumbsticks, is quite good. But I’m not giving that company another cent.
