Hey, Generation X'ers, we might need special glasses to read our bar receipts now, but we still know how to party. Maybe not as hard and as often, but we still got it. Go here for more Gen X bands at the Big Gig.
Nothing flares up my FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) like a Summerfest show I couldn't attend. Case in point: last night's Chaka Khan show on the BMO stage.
A more respectable fan than I would have gone to hear her perform hits from her time as the singer for funk band Rufus, but my inner-MTV Kid wanted to lose her sh*t over "I Feel For You."
Social media gave me a good taste of what I missed, but it also triggered whatever the acronym is that comes the day after FOMO. Perhaps it's called DITMO (Damn I Totally Missed Out) or FITMO. No need to drop an F-bomb – you know what that stands for.
Anyway, here are some posts about last night's show:
If y’all see my mama at Chaka Khan say hi and remind her that she fine. Thanks in advance. 😂🥰 — Alexandria Mason (@raewithwords) July 2, 2019

But most importantly, Chaka was excited for the show:
