⛽️ Touring is fucking brutal and unsustainable for most. Only 2% of the time is spent performing and connecting, which is invaluable.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.” 🟣 Me: “Same to you. Consider looking into them sometime.” ⚪️ IG user: “I don’t use Spotify.” #grownostr

Has anyone been able to find U2’s “Songs of Innocence” on any NOSTR music clients?

Prince had a saying about living in Minnesota - “It’s so cold, it keeps the bad people out.” Seemingly the technical barriers of entry to NOSTR might be the thing, at least for awhile. Discourse is unfamiliarly constructive here.
