Three months ago, amid the beginning of a huge slowdown in the ad business, Snap initiated a unique dividend meant to ensure that the founders maintained control of the company, even if they sold their stock — protecting themselves. Instead, they delivered brash confidence, along with a substantial repertoire of songsfrom both"Lavender Days" and their earlier albums.J. Whether Meier is singing about colorful characters, shadowy introspection, running away to a new life, or a tender and sincere romance, his lyrics are forthright and honest. The band, as a whole, steers clear of cloying sentimentality and approaches even the deepest and most conflicting of emotions with a dose of good old Midwest resilience. That coaching staff, getting to know them a little bit, has them rolling. On the face of it, this seems like an investor-friendly approach — Barron’s pointed out earlier this year that investors were suffering while employees were faring better with the hefty stock-comp plans. Meier’s raspy vocals add both a gritty charm and a wholesome realness.

Those two still control over 99% of the voting power of the company’s capital stock, and as the parent of Snapchat reminded investors in its annual report, “Mr. By far, their most popular songs last night were folk-rock style songs such as “The Otter,” “By and By,” and “Hey Joe,” all of which had almost the entire audience singing along.

Then there were the more pop-influenced songs such as"On & On & On" and"Officer of Love," the straight-up-rock"Going to the Country,” and a bold cover of Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs. Lani Lawrence integral in team’s renaissance “There were conversations. On Thursday, the company ended regular trading hours with a market capitalization of around $17.” Columbus guitarist Parker Louis joined the band for a moody, bluesy, intense"Moonsmoke,” with a long improvisational section between himself and Meier. “Fever” also clung tightly and effectively to its blues roots. “I could [see] the reason they are now having success, just off the energy.
