No Devo?
Probably just as well that the one-time attempted assassin never showed any interest in covering the Dead Kennedys.
I’m not sure I want to know “what John Hinckley dreams of.”
Probably not Jodie Foster
Being a better shot?
I gave a listen to “May Your Dreams Come Trues” and was surprised. I liked it. There I said it.
An attempted assassination and 34 years under psychiatric care; this man must have a complex story.
I’m guessing he won’t be doing anything from Sondheim’s Assassins either. I understand Squeaky Fromme is out of prison and still in love with Manson…
Don’t know if I’ll like his new stuff, but I’m a huge fan of his previous work.
Everybody gets a sho

Phrasing it as “playing a concert in Brooklyn” makes it sound like a bigger deal than it probably is.
I lived closed to the performance space in question when it was first kicked up. It’s more of a community rehearsal and recording space/pop-up party room and occasional small show venue.
You can kinda just wander in.
The little Korean corner store below it, Mr. Kiwi, is awesome though.
John Warnock Hinckley: The ‘Greatest Hits’ Tour.
He’s this week’s number one, with a bullet.
For anyone who didn’t get the reference.
I have to say, he is a better singer than a couple people I know who are trying seriously to make it as musicians.
I hate what he did to President Reagan and James Brady but I respect his focus on positivity and personal growth. This seems to be a good outlet for him and is much better than sitting in a jail cell.
