Episode 15 From Ski Slopes to Stages - Somber Humor, Politics, and Music

In this episode, Kurt, Tully, Kelly and Neil talk about current events like introducing the song on the new Jason Aldean tour, Jason and the band attending the RNC, "threat to democracy", erasing the assassination attempt, the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics, and....Neil being awesome at snow skiing!

Did you ever imagine how a single speech could push a concert into the wee hours of the night? Kurt and Tully recount the unexpected twists and turns of performing at the RNC, including delayed start times and impromptu setlist changes.
