I’m so glad Ridge finally grew a backbone and stood up to Brooke’s ridiculous demand to be co-CEO. Steffy has earned that gig but she could stand to ease up on Hope 🤣 @BandB_CBS

I’m so glad that the Mattie & Olympia ICE has thawed on @matlockcbs - my favorite TV series right now with Kathy Bates and Skye P. Marshall!

[Bil or Bill Carpenter @Carpenterbil]

I saw all these people with picket signs headed downtown so I thought I’d see what it was all about - after I stopped by Marshall’s - but I guess I too long because this ain’t it 🤣

Today was a great day to talk about Isaac Hayes, Otis Redding and Ruby Johnson with the woman who worked with all of them - the effervescent Deanie Parker!!!!

I was awarded the inaugural Publicist of the Year award from the Gospel Industry Coalition (GIC) at an event at @Trevecca in Nashville!!! Many thanks to @drthairston and her board for the honor!

The Ice Man - Jerry Butler - Cometh for 85 years with freezers of stone-cold musings on the vagaries of love. The acid-throated Gwen McCrae redefined women’s sexual liberation with a string of gems like He Don’t Ever Lose His Groove and the million-seller: Rocking Chair. #Gone

Country music is some of the most soulful music ever sung. Check out my @Spotify Americana Soul playlist that features some great examples by Candi Staton, The Civil Wars, Bonnie Raitt, Keb’Mo, Chris Stapleton etc.

@joseph_cronin I just watched “Hitler: Countdown to War” for the first time. It’s an excellent documentary! Your observations and commentary were poignant and insightful. Keep fighting against antisemitism and prejudice!

I’m sad about this… I love JD Souther’s charming songs like You’re Only Lonely and Her Town with JT. Also, the great songs he penned for The Eagles!

@IamCandiStaton @Rhino_Records Why am I just learning that there is a National Disco Day and that today is that day! Dance on everybody!

With all the talk about Dolly Parton’s original version of JOLENE and Beyoncé’s excellent new version, I just wanted to mention another fine version by Candi Staton back in 1973.
