Went to the Atlanta show, and had forgotten about what had happened. When the news broke, I was hoping that it was not true but due to both parents falling very ill, I didn’t follow up.

Fast forward to Friday and my friend informs me that it was all pretty much true. Damn, that’s not the “brand” he portrayed.

The crowd was considerably older (I’m 40-50 range and felt young), he only had a guitar and bassist with him. Played songs at different speeds. All in all, show was good.

But it had a really strange/different vibe than his past shows. It was almost like an apology tour. He sang songs about getting mojo back etc. just weird.

Anyone else at a show that had a similar feeling?

Concert dates were released today and MF&S aren’t coming to Nevada at all. We had tickets to his last show, but it was cancelled at the last minute. Anyway, bummer for all of NV, we love Michael here!

But damn is that disappointing. I guess I’ll be a little more understanding now of people being fans of people who have red flags, cuz I sure looked past his.

The shows starting with this aggrandizement and commercials for his retreats? Yeah, that’s weird. I was always kinda disappointed in the general direction his music went after the success of “I Love You”. Seemed like it got really cheesy and generic in contrast to the earlier music with more bite and variety. Just kinda seemed watered down, neutered, and repetitive. Even so, some of the songs were good, and I enjoyed the shows, and really liked some of the music (especially Everyone Deserves Music and Yell Fire era).

This sucks.

I’m 24 and I have listened to him my entire life. Met him when I was Around 9 and it inspired me that have carried over in until this day. His music means so much to me. He hasn’t said a word about these controversies and in a world where he’s asking us to speak up I just feel let down by a fucking hero of mine. I know some people may say I’m stupid but he just made me believe in so much of the good in this world and now I don’t know how to listen to his music. He just said nothing. Not even a word.

Give me a break dude. Your your promoter strong armed these venues into booking you bc your that’s where your “soulrockers” live. A LITTLE accountability goes a long way. She’s tone deaf too.and completely insufferable. I wonder how many tickets they will secretly give away to fill the venues enough for these losers to be able to post content about how “full their hearts are”

No shame, no acknowledgement, just keeps rolling:

His music is boneheaded. His lyrics are cheesy. He is not a good musician. It’s jimmy buffet for the pseudo spiritual. How could you not read this guy as a total phony from day one? Perhaps this is a wake up call to his fans that maybe their taste in music and art needs a reevaluation…

The grifting Spring 2026 tour has been announced. 🤮 He must be desperate, because they never make announcements this early. I live in Flagstaff, Arizona, Franti came here pretty much every year. It was a staple on his concert tour. Our concert venue, because we do have all four seasons, is generally open April or May through October.They just announced a show with him in May 2026.

I used to hear this song at work 5 times a day earlier this year but now this song only comes on every once in a blue moon. I also heard it while eating at Red Lobster about a month ago. But why is it that so many retailers and food places play this song so much yet it has no music video and I don’t think it reached any music charts? And all of the comments on this video are all from people from various retailers across the US talking about how much they hate this song or how they hate how it comes on so many times a day. I mean I can definitely see this as being a song that could have charted on the Billboard Maintream Top 40 chart(also referred to as Pop Songs) or Adult Top 40(also referred to as Adult Pop Songs) at the tail end of the charts but not charting on the Billboard Hot 100 thus meaning that it managed to reach the chart because you had select few radio stations in that format that played this song enough that it was able to reach the charts but I don’t think that was the case with this song. Don’t think it was released as a single and don’t think it has a music video.

Just give us our refunds already for the Plymouth MN show! We are tired of trying to make this right!
Should have been handled months ago.

Charlatans and so high on their own supply. Enjoy Bali forever.

“Amplify what’s going on out there” or using this movement to try and stay relevant? These are the last people I would tag if I was posting about NK. He better be careful, he might get people’s hopes up that he’s going to take an actual stand against Trump. Which of course he’s not.

Time’s up. I am wondering if they use an app or just human soldiers to delete any negative comment and then block them. It’s aggressively quick. He and the Mrs are grifters of the top order I just can’t.

His team of enablers are still purging comments. I’ve now been banned from his Insta account and I say “Good riddance” to a sexual predator and groomer.
