He's going to be playing like Jeff Healy soon. The guitar is basically laying in his lap already as he can't hold it normally due to his fat gut.

- Mr. Tomlinson's feud started after members of the now-defunct Reddit site r/opieandanthony got his Twitter account suspended, causing him to threaten some bored trolls who never heard of him with a libel lawsuit. The trolls responded predictably.
- Mr. Tomlinson has been instructed many times by friends, family, police, and attorneys to stop engaging with his trolls, and that continuing to provoke them will cause him to be trolled even more. Mr. Tomlinson wilfully ignores this advice
- He would eventually file a defamation suit against 60 anonymous people which was dismissed with Mr. Tomlinson being ordered to pay $34,762.25 for opposing parties' attorney fees.
- He ended up paying $83,736.99 due to his unsuccessful attempts to dodge the court-ordered judgement, for which he faced jail time and contempt charges.
- He also filed 2 frivolous restraining orders against people who had engaged in First Amendment-protected behavior (one for texting him and another for attending his contempt of court hearing), both of which were dismissed.
- Early on in the lawsuit, Mr. Tomlinson vandalized his own motorcycle and submitted a false police report blaming the people he was suing.
- He accidentally sent surveillance video of the alleged vandal (himself) to a troll.
- Mr. Tomlinson has never shown this video footage during any of his media tours, and desperately tries to scrub it from the internet.
- Mr. Tomlinson claims that the surveillance video was initiated by his "motion-activated" camera, which only collects "30 seconds at a time", despite the video being 32 seconds long and beginning several seconds before the "vandal" enters into the frame.
- On 13 April 2023, the individual responsible for calling the fake emergencies (SWATs) to Mr. Tomlinson's house, a SWAT-for-hire dealer named "Torswats", revealed that Mr. Tomlinson ordered the SWATs to his own house because he wanted to get in the news and sue the MPD for money.
- Torswats would repeat these allegations in private chats which were not intended for public view.
- Mr. Tomlinson has gone on multiple news tours since the SWATtings started in order to promote his victimhood brand, utilizing the services of Lenora Claire.
- He also recently sued the MPD for money.

I don't get why he has to make it look like he is in pain while playing some mellow Santana tune, does he think he'll get tips if people think he's straining to get their entertainment just perfect?
I love that he can't not do his pained, Bruce Springsteen, "feeling it" face when he sings.
You read my mind.
You don't enjoy his engaging crowd banter of "10 o'clock showtime, let's go"?
Of course they are
There it is, Line of the Day. Line of the Day.
His voice sounds so damn blown out, like James Hetfield on the final leg of the Black Album tour.
I guess those old ding-bats are enjoying it. It's an honest living.
Oh he sings? uh oh..
Oh he sings? uh oh..
He's not even terrible, he's just not terrible I guess. I know people who sound as good / better / slightly worse than him who would never delude themselves that they should be playing in public. At least he isn't trying to engage the senior citizens between songs with stories of his life. "Here is an old tune that always reminds me of my ex wife, but instead of black magic I dealt with her using a black cast iron frying pan"
no, no but really folks..
dis guy gets it.
Decades of "practice" to play Santana with both less feeling and more flourish than appropriate. This is like when amateur singers ruin the beginning of a baseball game by trying to make the National Anthem all about them. A tepid smattering of polite applause is more than he deserves. We should be seeing handfuls of food and cheap souvenirs flying at his head throughout. I hope he gets a particularly nasty case of rhinovirus.
I think this gig expects him to Liberace things up a little, old ladies seem to like that as long as it isn't too loud. I remember a music teacher who was known for theater type arrangements telling us that our playing needed more "polish" When he was done with us we sounded like a lounge act.
The fact that a pack of millennials have bullied an elderly cruise musician to the point he has to disable comments when uploading videos of his performances to YouTube is surreal and I don't 100% know how to feel about it.

Wait till he's back and he endlessly refers to the cruise gig as a "world/European tour" without any shame.
HAHA HOLEE SHIT @ 6:12
