Like a full-fledged creep, I examined a stack of confiscated homemade signs near one of the entrances of Silverstein Eye Centers Arena last night. The children and teens who created the fan art must have been devastated upon learning that the symbols of their devotion wouldn’t be seen by the headliner Kane Brown. Friends and colleagues have long asked me how I suffer through concerts by mainstream country artists, facile pop stars and over-the-hill rockers. I respond to their queries with indignant disbelief. Seeing joy on the faces of fans and hearing their unreserved screams of appreciation never fails to thrill me. I unreservedly adored last night’s concert by Brown, Granger Smith and Lacy Cavalier. I reviewed the show for The Kansas City Star.

My ongoing appreciation of Future’s druggy, vulgar materialism shames me. Even so, I'm willing to confess that I’ve already derived enormous pleasure from the new release Future Hndrxx Presents: The Wizrd.
