[@wizard9403]

Kudos to the bass player and drummer for keeping it all together while Steve orbits Pluto!!!

Hearing this reminds me of Stevie's roots playing with Frank Zappa. Stevie has been playing with magnificent musicians since he was a teen. FZ would love this.

[@jackbutler2732]

Took my girfriend to concert in Toronto from that tour; she was completely blown away, as was I and everyone else who had to pick their jaws from off the floor. Unbelievable musicianship. Steve was in top form; no matter how many tecniques he invents - he always sounds like himself - kind of like Jeff Beck that way. Steve's tone is unbellievably greasy - in a good way. My girlfriend is the one now who is alert to Steve's upcoming tours. The violinists and the other members of the band are worl-class. Great concert Steve.

[@joanjett8814]

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existential catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them.
