According to my Facebook Memories, nine years ago today I saw Father John Misty at Atlanta's Tabernacle. It was far from my first time seeing Father John, but afterward I was moved to write "Best Father John Misty show ever!" on FB.
At the Tabernacle (and elsewhere on that tour), he surprised the audience with his cover of Nine Inch Nails' Closer.
It seems as if popular taste has moved beyond 2010s' indie rock and we're now fully in the Trump Era of manufactured material-girl pop stars, but Father John still remains the quintessential crooner of his generation, continuing to performing thought-provoking, self-lacerating songs in his own unique, post-ironic style.
