I’ve been a Marc Maron fan for a long time. These days I don’t really listen to the podcast very much. When I worked in a one-person library for years I listened to podcasts all day. Things are different now. For some reason I can’t concentrate on work when I have headphones one, whereas I can if a podcast is just playing on the speakers.
We went to see him perform last night at the Majestic Theatre, in Dallas.
It was a great show. Marc performed for two hours. That’s a solid show. We were supposed to see him last year but the tour was rescheduled. The show would have been quite different back then. Last night Marc came out and talked about Trump and his band of lunatics and kooks for a bit, but unlike when I do it Marc was funny. He had some really nice creative insulting names for them. It was cathartic and much appreciated.
The rest of the show was pretty typical Maron, which is fine. We laughed hard. We needed that. Honestly, I could listen to Marc talk about his cats for a long time. I love cats. Marc loves cats. He’s my people.
I was trying to remember when I read his first couple of books. They were super good. Then I remember that I blogged about them when I read them! That is a benefit of being a longtime compulsive blogger.
Here’s the stage before the show started last night. I love the Majestic. Great place to see a show.
