"...on his way to a grocery store to make soup for his family..." is both incredibly specific and incredibly poorly written. Is his family meeting him at the grocery to eat the soup? Does the grocery have a little kitchen you can rent in which to make the soup?

But this story is pretty wild. Seems like leaving the country so soon after something like this would be unappreciated by the police and the courts.

Frogs rule. The live shows they've been releasing lately are wild as fuck.
Really. It's funny because The Frogs main influences are Springsteen, T Rex, ELO, Jethro Tull, Leonard Cohen, The Beatles, etc. Jimmy's guitar and songwriting skills are revered, and he has thousands of them. PJ should be embarrassed that they've never covered one, because it would require figuring out how he gets those chords without detuning his guitar or using a capo.

And yes, the live releases are pretty great. But they barely scratch the surface really. The fact that you've noticed them makes me feel tingly in my happy place.

Dance of the Clairvoyants.

As good as the music is, the lyrics near the end are gross. Seeing Ed have his daughters dance behind him while he sang that part was especially disturbing.

But the worst lyric in that song is "I'm in love with clairvoyants because they're out of this world"

“This song is about aah, people who don’t have taste but they aah, like us anyway. It’s called Not For You.”

Even if you removed Kid Rock from the equation, Ed's outfit alone would qualify.

Based on the outfit.
