I'm so so sad! I was just about to make a post in case you didn't.... back in a sec.
So, I never had a 'Supertramp phase'-- when I was growing up, one had to purchase albums individually, and at the peak of my 'classic rock' years, I bounced between obsessions with the Beatles, Zeppelin and Floyd while getting a deep appreciation for profoundly good acts like the Allman Brothers and the Dead and on and on. As I gradually learned who all these bands were, I always had an appreciation that Supertramp was great and that I'd probably love them if I just got the albums, but I never made the plunge and purchased them. However, I do absolutely love them. They have so many songs where you hear the opening chords and before you even know what's going on, your brain is just sending you "Relax, we're in for a treat." Goodbye, stranger.
I set up a GA with a bunch of stuff to eat up a few of your minutes, I hope you'll put on Supertramp and just help keep these memories alive.
The GA is level 2+ because reasons, and it closes in one week. If you know me, I don't like to tell the name of the game if I set up the GA as a puzzle/game, but I'll say, many folks have it already, it's not very valuable, and I had it marked as a precision platformer-- I'm looking forward to playing it myself :)
The process is also because I miss all the fun puzzle games to open GAs, while chasing the September train, so I did my favorites:
Step two is a medium (121 piece) Jigidi, my very favorite puzzle style that IMO never gets enough love. (Until we can make our own Parquets! ;))
Step three is 4-word Wordle using Yannbz's new tool
Hoping you all take the long way home.

Thank you, yeah they had great easy listening songs, one of those bands you couldn't really hate.
And Fool's Overture is the same masterpiece as Bohemian Rhapsody is to Queen.
I tried to go to a concert once with my dad but he heard live they weren't at their strongest, so we never went, i don't know if it's true.
But atleast i got to see Eric Clapton twice, David Bowie, Rolling Stones and BB King.

Oh, I'm so happy for you you got to see David Bowie especially! It's absolutely absurd, ain't it? My friends went to see Dylan when we were teens in the 90s, but in my head I was like "Nah, he's too old, prob sounds terrible live with his style and all."
.... I'm seeing Dylan live for this first time this week. #NinetiesomeRegrets
Wow... this Fool's Overture song is a trip, thank you for the mention.

Yeah, his reality tour, so his last tour as it turned out and lucky to have been there, and i been a great Bowie fan.
What was even more weird i was trading Bowie bootlegs (video, sound etc) until i received one that was from the show i been to, but it was also filmed just 2 rows behind me and i could even see my own back of my head for a few moments, like what are the odds? :p
Dylan, well he's something different, they say his voice certainly didn't improve and that he always doesn't interact with his audience, but i hope maybe he has a good day and you enjoy the show, feel free to tell me afterwards how it was.
So many are passing away (and they do get older) so we have to grab the chance while we still can.

Dylan's "opening" for Willie Nelson, and there are some other great acts with.... better joint health? So it should be a fantastic day; Dylan's a bit of an icon for me as a music lover, so just basking in the presence and sharing that experience with a friend who loves him even more is a pretty unmissable thing for me.

Now I believe in what you say
Is the undisputed truth
But I have to have things my own way
To keep me in my youth.
RIP Rick Davies, Supertramp founder.
