And your dad stopped listening to LP?

sorry I don’t use whatsapp… I’ll think about installing but I’m not such a huge fan of these kind of apps… Installing Twitter just to follow Mike’s tour was already a huge step :laughing:

Instagram is the only app that I use frequently… I have an account on FB but I don’t use it often.I don’t have a problem with all that social media but I don’t need too be reachable (or available) everywhere, all the time …
I used too use FB a lot, I had almost 1000 “friends”, but eventually it got me really depressed… so now I have about 50 “friends” left (of which exactly 4 are real friends)…
The “social” aspect of Social Media has exactly the opposite effect… people feel more lonely than ever…

Didn’t your dad want to see the concert?

I understand you totally, I had Facebook before but stopped it four years ago because it was making me anxious, you look something you receive ten messages you’ re online, you don’t reply Pff, I had in my friends few People that I can call toxic… Eating my energy, like if they were feeding on me… And it was bad for me, daily in my life… It was playing with my mood… So I ended it. I created an other one with ‘no’ friends at all few weeks ago Just to follow Mike… And I don’t open it everyday, maybe twice in three weeks…

My father is not really a concert Guy, yeah maybe if he was younger, but he prefers to listen to music at home, he doesn’t like crowd too much… He is a grandpa now haha… Not mocking but really, two granddaughters

How old is he? Age has no matter in music (or any other artform)…

He will be 58 soon, I know age is not important , he is like a bear, doesn’t like too much crowd…

That’s an amazing thing with Mike and Lp, they all kind of fans, younger, older…

I don’t like them either but sometimes I make an execption… normally when I go to a concert, I stand quietly in the back enjoying… My “wild” days of moshpits have been forced to stop.
About 13 years ago I got totally paralyzed by a disease (Guillain Barrée Syndrome). It took me years to recover but even now I still can’t do most of the stuff that’s normal for other people (I can’t walk for longer than about 1km, Stairs are extra hard to take, standing up for a long time is painful and tiresome, etc… I have constantly pain in my nerves, I don’t sleep for longer than 2 or 3 hrs, I need to take 10 different kinds of medication, if I forget those, I’m forced to spend my day in bed or the couch… and so on)
And on top of all of that, last year october the specialist told me that I had only 3 more months to live, if I didn’t got urgently operated on my arteries around my intestines (which has cause already for 2 years of unbearable, inexplicable pains in my belly, I saw about 9 different specialists in 9 different hospitals until they found what really was going on… and then they had to react fast… I wonder what would have happened if they hadn’t found it in time?)… The problems with the arteries are caused partly because they are inheditary, partly because of a lack of proper movement…
And then I haven’t started about my 2 kids whom I haven’t seen in over 15 years… Apparently, I’m a grandad already too (twice) but I haven’t seen any of them … (I’m 51 btw… 80 in terms of body, 20 in terms of mind :slight_smile: )
The end of last year it all became a bit too much for me and I started to think about ending it all… That’s when I started to reach out here…
Anyway, I have a crappy body but nothing is going to stop me from being there tomorrow …
I already had to cancel two concerts this year (Massive Attack and a concert in Londen of a Neapolitan band I’m friends with)…

Life didn’t spare you neither, I have kind of problems with my heart and went to see Mike in offenbach with a heart monitor attached on my chest, security has even been a bit bioring with it… But nothing like you being paralysed :neutral_face: I’m so sorry to hear that, sickness is shit really, I hope you get better really soon, you sound really young :blush:. Tomorrow I don’t know what time you plan to go there but we bought three little folding chairs (because offenbach has been really hard to me Last time) and we Will be happy to share them with you :blush:

Thanks, but that won’t be nessecary, I’m comfortable sitting on the ground if needed…
Unfortunatly, the effects of the disease are for life… I’ve learned to live with them. I find that it’s mostly other people who have problems with it. Because when you see me, you wouldn’t think that there is something wrong with me. It’s only after they’ve spend a couple of hours with me that they discover that my body has its limits… And then they overreact and begin to “pay attention” and “be careful” with me… I hate that.
It’s the problems with the arteries that I’m more worried about. But I’m not letting interfere it too much with my view of life anymore… I’ve done that and it only ended in some bad fatalistic view on the world…with it’s high point at the end of last year…
I may sound young and to be honestly after all the problems, I’m kinda proud that I still look younger than my age too… without my beard, people still think I’m at average 10 years younger…

I know those heart monitors, I’ve had one some years ago too… I guess they tought It could be bomb, these days, you never know…
