For the past two nights, a large, partially-washed army has descended on New York’s Radio City Music Hall (directly across the street from the Rolling Stone offices) for a pair of Furthur shows.

We all know Ke$ha as the glitter-loving, Paisley Park-crashing party-starter behind the record-breaking smash single “TiK ToK.” But long before she jammed a dollar-sign in her name, she was simply Kesha Sebert: a Radiohead-loving 13-year-old who sang the band’s “Karma Police” at a junior high school talent show. Yes, we now have visual evidence that before she was a glammed-out Hot 100 princess, Ke$ha was an awkward, angsty teen singing OK Computer songs in an ...
