I'm feeling fine in the modern age

Friday was the Frank Black concert. I can’t say it was my favorite concert, but it wasn’t that bad either. The problems were essentially twofold, the first being the opening act, an idiot, who goes by the name of the Kentucky Prophet. He was an obese white rapper who seemed to think that self loathing was a skill. Secondly, the venue was horrible, I hate the Mac Hall ballroom, it’s so pathetic. That being said Frank was great, he played most of the hits, and he even played a Tom Waits cover. I thought he should have played something off of Devil’s Workshop or maybe a little more off of Teenager of the Year, that would have taken it from good to great. Anyway here’s the setlist:
