Maroon 5

Incessantly intimate yet delightfully indulgent, SEVENTEEN combined boy-band heart with sharpened spectacle at the Oakland Arena for its “BE THE SUN” tour.

While it focuses on universal motifs, such as heartbreak or loneliness, the band struggles to say anything new — or even relatively captivating — about the common human experience.

With new albums every month, there’s no room for “Summertime Sadness.” From Prince to Billie Eilish, the options are limitless.

Despite an impressive feature from Megan thee Stallion, it offers nothing new lyrically and musically — lead vocalist Adam Levine has failed to move past a breakup, it seems, for years.

“Vindication” could very well reverse course with a narrative rug pull within the next three issues, but at the moment, it seems as though Chip is the series’ main character when it should be Turn.

While the band already possesses enormous privilege, power and wealth, and when turning down the halftime show in no way would jeopardize the members’ careers, agreeing to the show is directly at odds with Colin Kaepernick’s objective — an objective he gave up a multi-million dollar career for.

If the recent string of celebrity cameo music videos have left you hungry for more, here are some suggestions to satisfy your craving.

I’ve never particularly like the way blue cheese tastes, sweet and tangy in an instant, leaving something smoldering on your tongue after you’ve swallowed.

Spread out your picnic blanket at Tilden Regional Park, or if you’re feeling more adventurous, park at one of the spots along Grizzly Peak Boulevard.

This, of course, begs the question — is it problematic and dangerous for the media to wield so much power over relief efforts?
