I've mentioned that I let youtube on my phone track me (ie I don't tell it not to) and that despite the diversity of music I select, it only recommends Korean stuff. The fact that I was listening to Tabu Ley Rochereau this morning did not make it think I want other Congolese music. On the phone I check from time to time to see what it recommends. While I was waiting for the bus to return to Arlington Heights, it showed me a livestream of BTS J-Hope's performance at Lollapalooza Berlin. I don't have (or want) bluetooth ear things and I didn't have the little strings with me (my phone is old enough to be able to plug in), so I watched but didn't listen on the bus trip to the car. Once I got out of the bus I cranked up the volume. When I got home I didn't even stop to remove my shoes, but went straight to the "smart" TV and searched for the concert on youtube. I was pleased. Along with thousands of people in the crowd, I held up my phone and took a few photos



Sang along. Folded some laundry. Admired the sky in Berlin as day turned into dusk, then almost dark, suitable for the short fireworks display at the end. Didn't have a long journey to get home when the concert was over.
