Wait a second. Wait a second.

What is this thing going on at halftime of the Bears/Lions game?

I do believe it's some kind of live loud rock show.

What the heck?!?!?! Oh shit! A crazy jazz rock sax solo.

Who is this Mike Posner Band? I bet they smoke the pots.

1. For context...I'd just finished listening to Abraxas and had moved onto Blind Faith at Hyde Park.

A scream came out of the TV in the living room and I was all, "Wha....?"

I'm usually fine with whatever but I confess, I had to punch the mute button and leave the room on that one.

But it didn't sound like this. Imagine if a dirty hippie band from 1974 was singing it live.

Fan entertainment model coming into practice with Pro Sports. We have this type of entertainment before our Golden Knights home games. All about selling those overpriced tickets. And live Stage entertainment outside the Arena is the new thing.

...as the Kings had been good and were playing into early summer. (Live music just outside the venue.)

In fact I think they may have permanently closed the street between Staples and L.A. Live.

Lakers might have something going the next 2-3 years, so we might have more.
