The Bonnie Raitt slander on here tonight is out of control. I love Beyoncé and Lizzo but just because y’all don’t know a legend doesn’t mean she doesn’t deserve a Grammy.

Beyoncé did not perform at this year’s Grammys, and hasn’t for some time. It’s a choice that feels pointed, our critic writes, and shows that it’s possible to be the most awarded artist in Grammys history and still be an anti-Grammys rebel. nyti.ms/3DIq1h3

Is it a Vancouver thing for arts groups to say they're shutting down instead of a public ask for help first?
In 2012, the Vancouver Playhouse announced it was ceasing operations, then exploring rebirth after public support.
But it didn't happen. Not ideal order of operations.

Feeling nostalgic these days. Listening to Steely Dan's Midnite Cruiser on repeat.
"The world that we used to know
People tell me it don't turn no more
The places we used to go
Familiar faces that ain't smilin' like before
The time of our time has come and gone..."
