The concert was sold out and ZZ Top didn't disappoint.

Politics never even came up.

One of the reasons I was concerned is, way back in the day when Bill Clinton was in the White House, I went out to dinner with my family and my sister's father in law. His thinking was beyond anything MAGA thinks. During the dinner he pretty much did his best to LOUDLY humiliate me for my political beliefs. He even asked the waitress if she was one of those idiots who voted for Clinton. This guy was a real piece of work. He slept with his sister in law and abandoned his kids (my BIL was just 4). He got back in touch after my sister got engaged to his son.

I was in tears and the only one who seemed to have my back was my sister. I think everyone was afraid of what he would do or say if they called him out for disrespecting me. I saw him just one more time before he died, and that time I stood up for myself. He was most displeased.
