So-Fi So Good for Taylor Swift

So-Fi So Good for Taylor Swift So-Fi So Good for Taylor Swift: Not a single piece of the reporting you’ve heard about Taylor Swift’s Eras tour is exaggerated. Not a tiny little bit. This thing is enormous. Like, insanely big, and a phenomenon. And every single attendee (including this one) is here for the party. Not in a tailgate, beer-chugga-chugga sort of way. But in a genuine, love for the music, human connection, sort of way.That’s what Swift is all about. She connects with her fans on a deeply personal level. The sort of connection that all artists hope to establish with their target audience. And despite the fact that this writer is not a part of that demographic, empathy is possible for all but sociopaths.So friendship bands are passed around by nearly everyone on the way in. The parking attendants had arms full of them. It’s a love-in. It’s contemporary Coachella and the Super Bowl halftime show without the dust and sports fans. The range of generations in attendance (and not just parents being dragged al...

Legendary classic rock band says it isn’t retiring ‘anytime soon’ Get ready to yell out “Free Bird” — and have the request actually mean something — when Lynyrd Skynyrd returns this month to Northern California.The Rock and Roll of Fame act, known for that fabled song as well as “Gimme Three Steps,” “Tuesday’s Gone,” “Sweet Home Alabama” and so many other classics, performs Aug. 10 at Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View and Aug. 11 at Toyota Amphitheatre in Wheatland.Shows start at 8 p.m. and tickets — $18.75-$354 (subject to change) — are available at livenation.com.The Southern Rock outfit is co-headlining these concerts with the Texas troupe ZZ Top. The outing is dubbed the Sharp Dressed Simple Man Tour — a clever title that draws from a pair of the bands’ best-known songs (ZZ’s “Sharp Dressed man” and Skynyrd’s “Simple Man”).I recently had the chance to chat with Skynyrd guitarist Rickey Medlocke on a number of subjects. The one topic that kept coming up again and again during our conversation, not surprisingl...
