In 2018, Trupa Trupa was 15 minutes from taking the stage at the venerable South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas, when singer and guitarist Grzegorz Kwiatkowski’s amp burned out.

Have you been watching Chicago Bulls games this season? According to a Sports Business Journal report, the answer is most likely “no.” The report found Bulls television viewership has plummeted 63% from the 2023-24 season, the largest drop-off of any NBA team.
