Jamie Raskin and Jasmine Crockett lit up the former president in ways that only they could do. I am very happy they are on the right side of history!

Steve Kerr reminds me so much of Bill Bradley. His demeanor, his character, his leadership. He has a future in politics if he wants one. I, for one, would welcome his leadership in national politics.

Please take a half hour of your time to listen to this very important conversation with three incredibly bright students and our resident media literacy expert, Donnell Probst (@donL@mastodon.social).
Technology has opened the door for anyone to produce and publish media on a global scale. That doesn’t mean the media is accurate or true. Tuning your media literacy skills will help you filter out the noise and get to what’s important.

Tedeschi Trucks Band put on another amazing show in St. Louis last night. For me, the cover of Dreams and the showcases for the female backup singer were the big highlights.
As in most past years, the band played at the Fox. Don’t get me wrong. The Fox is an absolutely beautiful theater. It is just not a venue that makes any sense for a rock band. There is a perpetual struggle between sitters and standers which often includes each group exchanging barbs. It’s just not the right place to feel rock/blues/jam music.
I do have a very simple solution to resolve all of this. St. Louis Music Park has the same capacity as the Fox. It’s outside and is designed for concerts with a general admission section and designated seating areas. So, the standers can stand, and the sitters can sit all while getting some fresh air. Problem solved.
