Umphrey’s McGee Sends An S.O.S. To The World In Chicago With Support From Eggy & Stolen Gin [Photos/Videos]
After kicking off a run with Eggy and Stolen Gin in St. Louis on Thursday, Umphrey’s McGee continued on to Chicago for a Friday night throwdown at The Salt Shed. Following an opening set from Stolen Gin, Eggy took the opportunity to debut a new cover, “I Am Trying To Break Your Heart” by Wilco. Umphrey’s then delivered one jam-packed set rather than the usual two. Highlights included the band’s first cover of The Police‘s “Message in a Bottle” since Halloween 2019 and the encore, which began with a culinary theme—”In The Kitchen” > “Soul Food I” > “Soul Food II”—and finished with “Come As Your Kids”, a clever arrangement blending Nirvana‘s “Come as You Are” with MGMT‘s “Kids”.

Illinois Supreme Court upholds unconstitutionality of Democrats' law banning slating of candidates
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — The Illinois Supreme Court on Friday upheld a lower court ruling that tossed out a law barring political parties from choosing candidates for the General Assembly when they had no one run in a primary. The court’s decision was not based on the merits of the case: Two justices recused themselves from deliberations, and the court was unable to get four votes needed to render a valid opinion. The law, which was approved by majority Democrats and Gov. J.B. Pritzker in May, stopped the long tradition of parties “slating” candidates. Designed to help Democrats in the November election, it effectively prevented Republicans from drafting candidates after no one appeared in the ballot in the March primary. Draftees were eligible as long as they collect the required number of petition signatures by a June 3 deadline.
