I love Kendrick Lamar's work. I don't know SZA's work other than the bangers and her duets with him, but the young people seemed very into her. It's kinda an odd professional pairing--he's a poet and... she's a different kind of poet, I guess.
In any case, I was reminded how much the lyrics to "Alright" had become an anthem in the first phase of the Black Lives Matter protests (before George Floyd). (Lump-in-my-throat moment.) It's a great reminder for our present. We've been here before: "We gon' be alright/ Do you hear me, do you feel me? /We gon' be alright."
Pic: We had very good seats, but I couldn't see much. In the picture, the real Kendrick is in the center (really tiny), and I contented myself with the screen versions most of the time.

AHHHHHHHHH I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!! I love both of them!
Major concert! I know you really enjoyed it on several levels.
Were the kids jealous?
Nice.
You guys are such cool parents! I bet the kids were envious!!
This sounds fun! I'm that old geezer who goes around saying "I just don't understand this music!", ha.
Yay :)! Please tell me your SZA faves. I felt like I couldn't distinguish between some of her songs!
Seriously! (We'd offered to get them tickets too--but they had major plans for yesterday. Update coming tomorrow :) )
Thanks!
Heh! I think they would so disagree :)! At and I bonded over Kendrick's early work a lot, actually. I don't get what either of my kids is listening to now though.
Haha. I'm the old geezer who can't run more than a 5K, so thanks for keeping me around I guess. :)
Thank goodness for screens! I'm glad you got to have a fun night out. You've been so on the go of late!
Thanks, Jeanie! The long road trip to Ford Field was extra time together too lol
I'm glad you enjoyed the concert. It can be so fun to see live music.
Inspired by you, I keep resolving to make more time for local concerts... I hope I get to go to a few this summer!
