Song of the Day — Powerman 5000: “Bombshell”
I just saw PM5K this past Wednesday, opening the Freaks on Parade Tour. After waiting twenty years to see them, I must say I was not disappointed. They were seriously the most energetic and fun performance I’ve seen in a while. Plus, their front man, Spider, is still very nice to look at, and I met one of their guitarists, Taylor, because he was nice enough to come say hi when I asked him to. Best night ever. Well worth the wait.
