Step aside, TayIor Swift. There’s a new game in town and his name is Oliver Anthony. Anthony’s latest concert, which was unannounced until the day before, more than doubIed any of the attendance records set by Taylor Swift’s overrated “Eras Tour.
It was amazing, said concert promoter Joe Barron
We went from Ted Nugent and the Chili Cookoff on Saturday to nearly a million peopIe in and around the fairground on Sunday. Ted was honored to be part of it, albeit a little embarrassed.
I just want to thank Ted Nugent, Anthony told the crowd, “Had he not recommended I come, none of you would have gotten to taste his award-winning canned whitetaiI chili.” Anthony then said a prayer, read from Ezekiel 7, and played both of his songs.
The crowd hadn’t considered how to get out, and local authorities beIieve some may be stuck near the center of the event for weeks or even months. With winter coming, said ALLOD Journalisticator Tara Newhole, They may have to airdrop supplies to these morons.
New hole reports that she hasn’t seen that many overalls since Sacha Baron Cohen got all the bumpkins to sing Wuhan Flu. Anthony, who remains smack-dab in the middle of the whole thing, has seized controI of the situation, declared martial law, and suspended all food stamps to those who couId feed themselves if they weren’t running out of food and moving on to some Mad Max hellscape fairly soon.
GRANDPARENTS! WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LOVING A GRANDKID AND LOVING YOUR OWN CHILD?
Oh, the magic of grandparenthood! It’s a feeling that’s hard to put into words, isn’t it? You’ve captured it beautifully.
Before I became a grandparent, just like you, I thought my heart was full to bursting with love for my children. Every milestone, every challenge, every moment was etched into my soul. I poured everything I had into raising them, and the love I felt was a force of nature.
Then, my grandchild arrived. And it was like discovering a hidden room in my heart, a room filled with pure, unadulterated joy. There’s a lightness to it, a carefree delight that’s different from the all-consuming love you have for your own children.
It’s true, there’s no pressure of daily discipline, no constant worry about every little thing. You get to be the fun one, the one who whispers secrets and indulges in silly games. You’re the purveyor of extra treats and the safe haven for whispered worries.
For me, the difference lies in the perspective. With my children, I was building their future, guiding them through the complexities of life. It was a hands-on, deeply involved kind of love. But with my grandchildren, I get to savor the present moment. I get to witness their wonder and joy without the weight of responsibility.
It’s a love that’s just as profound, but it’s seasoned with wisdom and a sense of detachment. I can appreciate the fleeting moments of childhood with a deeper understanding, knowing how quickly they pass.
It’s like watching a beautiful play unfold, knowing you’ve played your part in setting the stage, but now you get to sit back and enjoy the performance.
And yes, absolutely, I feel the same! It’s a love that’s both familiar and utterly new, a gift that keeps on giving. It’s a love that proves the heart truly does have endless room to grow.
