My 1st big concert was Usher OPENING for Janet Jackson! 🤠
Janet's #VelvetRope Tour 🎪 July 10, 1998 @ Cleveland's Gund Arena 🏟️
Usher was just 19!! 🙀 My Way era. 🥽 Hard to believe — he was already such a refined singer and dancer, and so smooth... 25 years later, I enjoyed the #Superbowl show.

RIP, First Lady Rosalynn Carter — who enjoyed 77 years of marriage with President Jimmy Carter! 💒
I was profoundly moved by an interview the Carters did a few years ago, where they talked about The Carter Center’s focus on eradicating guinea worm. 🧵

Willie Nelson, John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival, and Gov't Mule may be sonically disparate — but their performances of many river-themed songs at Riverbend revealed a broader universality that transcends genre ❤️🔥

In my NPR review of Garbage's Dallas set, I wrote about the sweetness of Shirley Manson passing a torch — gifting Butch Vig's drumsticks — to a young boy, who sang ALL their songs & wore matching Garbage shirts with his Dad 🥲

Tina Turner was 44 when she notched her first #1 .
8 years after leaving Ike.
Her eldest son was 25.
Tina's supersonic talent goes without saying.
But her perseverance was just as extraordinary.
That turn to the camera in "What's Love Got To Do With It" embodies perseverance ❤️🔥 RIP!

Dolly Parton and Naomi Judd were born only 8 days apart, in January of 1946.
It is wonderful to see Dolly pay tribute to her at #ACMawards It’s still incredible that a 38 year-old Baby Boomer and her teenage daughter from Ashland, Kentucky took the ‘80s by storm; 14 number one songs, alone! 🙀
