Grammy-award winner @PJMORTON and his excellent band returned to Columbus for a packed outdoor concert as the Sunday headliner for the highly popular Jazz & Rib Fest.

The encore song “How Deep Is Your Love” is a personal favorite.

#OTD in 1963, one of the world’s greatest musical icons was born in Newark, NJ:

Whitney Houston

The financial impact that Ms. Houston made across music, movies, touring, merchandising, and local economies likely scales into several billions of dollars—and would naturally make for an interesting Harvard Business Review (@HarvardBiz) case in analyzing how one extraordinarily talented individual can drive economic change in the global market.

Her legacy continues to be highlighted in American pop culture as a one-of-a-kind creative.

On Sunday, October 4, 2026, the exhibition DIVA, a celebration of women trailblazers in music will open exclusively at @DenverArtMuseum in collaboration with Victoria and Albert Museum (@V_and_A).

It has come to my attention that @JCChasez turned 50 on International Cat Day.

A fine vocalist. One of my early crushes. And a feline fan, to boot.

Happy Birthday, JC! 💜

OLMO is a bittersweet coming-of-ager about a Mexican American teen in the 1970s, inspired by director Fernando Eimbcke’s love of John Hughes movies.

It’s a delight and it opens in theaters today. For LA Times (De Los), I interviewed Eimbcke and star Aivan Uttapa. Link below.

Damn. Spike Lee is more enamored with Italians and their transatlantic culture than I am. 🤣🤣🤣

(Lest we not forget Lee filmed Miracle at St. Anna in Tuscany and Rome.)

[Movies Scenes 🎫 @SceneinCinema]

In 1972, Italian singer Adriano Celentano released a song made entirely of gibberish designed to sound like American English.

It became a hit, reaching No. 1 in Italy and charting across Europe. Spike Lee later used a custom version of the song in his film Highest 2 Lowest.

@SVG__Collection I was named after “Summer Breeze,” which they matched in brilliance to the original version. If anyone asks what I appreciate about Ohio, obviously the Isley Brothers is getting listed (it’s a short list, y’all 🤣).

One of the more inspired hidden tracks on an album…compact disc…whatever:

“Too Late (Instrumental)” from No Doubt’s Return of Saturn (2000).

The late 1990s to early 2000s was a strong innovative era for music. Glad I was alive to witness it!

As seen on @AmazonMGMStudio's @Instagram:

Nicolas Cage talking about Fritz Lang's German Expressionism as an influence for the legendary bakery scene in a movie that I think is perfect: Moonstruck (1987).

Mr. Cage is one of our greatest living actors.

We interviewed the legendary director of "Zoot Suit" & "La Bamba" about being the subject of the documentary "American Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez."

We also chatted with the doc's director, David Alvarado, about the changes he made to the film after its Sundance premiere.

The Tubi original HIVE, as well as the films AT THE GATES, and BENEATH US mine horror from the experiences of working class Latinos in the U.S. The evil is always dehumanization, whether supernatural or not.

Wrote about them for my latest @cinelandiaUSA newsletter. Link below.

As a never married Millennial woman, my interest in men has never been governed by money. And looks fade for many.

There is power in leading oneself through long stretches of singlehood while improving the self. And not settling for a person when intense loneliness kicks in.

i just heard someone on TikTok say “this is the first time in history women are dating men for their character. and that’s why no one is dating.” and she was right.
