For 55 years, Sesame Street has welcomed all children to learn and play with our furry friends, friendly monsters, and warm and gentle grown-ups.
Everyone has a place on Sesame Street and has since our first episode premiered on November 10th, 1969. Happy #SesameStreetDay
also keep making music and writing and art. make brave, individual, soul-bearing art. the strength of our creativity is the strength of the human spirit itself, and it is what fascism hates and fears- because art will always outlive it, every single time
The younger folks who have jokes and think elections are jokes, never had to fight for the rights that's currently out there.... won't feel it until they're taken away.... the stove is hot....
We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of producer, songwriter, composer and arranger Quincy Jones.
As a master inventor of musical hybrids, he has shuffled pop, soul, hip-hop, jazz, classical, African and Brazilian music into many dazzling fusions, traversing virtually every medium, including records, live performance, movies and television.
His career spans over six decades, with a record 80 Grammy Award nominations and 28 Grammy Awards. Jones’s contributions to the jazz world include his iconic recordings and arrangements for Frank Sinatra (including “Fly Me To The Moon”), the Count Basie Orchestra, Ray Charles, Sarah Vaughan, and Dizzy Gillespie, in addition to his 39 recordings as a leader.
RIP Quincy Jones, who defined the highest level of musical genius for 5 generations. Perhaps the greatest producer & soundtrack composer of all-time. The most quotable, the coolest, who made everything from Thriller to Vibe to the Fresh Prince. Who did it all, better than anyone.
