The US of A 🇺🇲

After a quick change I headed back out for more live music! In doing so I got absolutely soaked in a downpour which wasn't ideal but thankfully it's like an oven here so I dried off relatively fast.

I passed a bar that I could hear was playing Five O'Clock Somewhere so obviously I had to nip into there to catch the end of it. Then I went to another bar I've no idea the name of but the band was great. Then I headed back to Morgan Wallen's as it was packed.

At one point on the middle floor all of the LED screens went to the US flag. The guy performing said that he thought the audience were 'his kind of people'. He then went and told a story about how 2 weeks previous he was at the Republican National Convention (which got a huge cheer) and that the best moment of his life happened when Donald J Trump walked past him in a corridor (which got an even bigger cheer). The room then erupted into chants of USA USA, Trump Trump Trump and people just randomly shouting Let's Go Trump and similar phrases. The next song he played was something about the red white and blue which included a guitar solo of the entire US national anthem which roused more passionate displays of patriotism. It was truly one of the most bizarre experiences of my life, but an authentic American one nonetheless.
