The Camera They Will Let You Bring In
No removable lens. No video camera. Your phone is fine until it isn’t. This is what gets past the door.
I Hope a Love Like This Never Finds Me.
I had a great time with Obsession. I also spent the whole back half going please do not let anybody love me like that.
Stop Calling It a Throwback
Juvenile in SA. Mary at Moody Center. Those records never left the car. That is not a reunion.
I Can Count Us
Some Austin rooms I can count. Houston does not make me do that math. I still live here.
Wear the Damn Earplugs
I stand in front of the speakers for a living. Foam from the gas station is not a plan.
The Pregame Is the Night
Dinner, parking, a drink within walking distance. The set is two hours. The rest is the evening.

GloRilla Went Back to Church in the “Rain Down On Me” Video

Church to Club and Back
Sunday morning and Saturday night use the same voice. I never thought that was a contradiction.
