Steve Lacy Has No Qualms About Going Viral

Here I am, once again, waxing poetic about Steve Lacy! Sad to report that I didn’t secure tickets to either of his shows this week despite knowing ALL the words to “Bad Habit”, unlike these alleged fans. But considering I bopped from a wedding in Chicago to Solange’s beautiful collab with the New York City Ballet over the weekend, the only place I wanted/needed to be on Monday and Tuesday night was my bed. Gemini Rights will remain in our (read: mine and my dog’s) rotation as we settle into hot, groovy, sad, sexy, cool girl fall — good girl fall for Sage — and I’m declaring here and now that I’ll catch him live next time.
