It is with profound sadness that we announce the loss of Bob Kevoian, beloved co-founder and longtime host of The Bob & Tom Show, who passed away peacefully Friday afternoon at his home, surrounded by family and friends. Details regarding memorial services will be shared at a later time.
I started listening to Bad Bunny when I moved to Miami a few years ago.
It was always playing in the gym. I started to learn the songs, which started teaching me words in Spanish. Then some of the Dominican trainers at the gym and I became friends, and they started speaking Spanish with me.
It gave me a small taste of what it must be like for immigrants who don’t speak English to come to America and turn to movies, TV shows, and music to learn the language. And how quickly you can become friends with someone even when you only share a few words in common.
IMO that’s what Bad Bunny’s halftime show captured creatively.
Latin culture is special. And you don’t need to speak the language to be invited to the party, dance, and experience community & connection.
I’m glad he didn’t sing a single word in English.
It’s his party.
And I appreciate him inviting all of us, fluent or not, to be part of it.
