duuuuuuude. and when they came here years and years ago they would do one surprise song each concert on the tour, and I said I hope its that one but what are the odds? their discography is huge. GUESS WHAT THEY PLAYED FOR ME? one of the nost magical moments ive ever had.

I think Michael was only in his 20s when he was diagnosed, which makes it even worse. To be so young and being told that you will have to soon retire because of Parkinson’s. I’m watching Coldplay at Glastonbury now. They just started Clocks, which is one of their better songs. I love Yellow too.

I think he was officially diagnosed in his 30s while he was filming Spin City (a show I loooooved lol) but I think he actually thought he showed symptoms as early as Back the Future? Maybe earlier? He really has done a lot. Still sad about the Michael J Fox Show!! They had a Thanksgiving episode where Wendell Pierce and MJF’s character’s daughter were on a mission to get canned cranberry and I was all for it.

The last episode of Spin City he's in where he is visibly deteriorating made me cry. I adored that show, it was never the same without him.

Part of me wants to rewatch (I loved so many of the characters!!! But as a Milwaukean I was honestly meh about James lol) and I prob will but once I get to those later episodes knowing he’s going to leave…won’t be easy.

I think Swallowed In The Sea is my fav.

This was very sweet. They also had Palestinian-Chilean singer Elyanna on stage:
