Prince was such a massive fan of THE MUPPETS, he asked if he could host the Muppets Tonight show in 1997, leading to one of the rare instances we saw a more comedic version of himself instead of the quiet and reserved persona fans were used to 😂👏
Father’s Day 1996:
Michael Jordan won his 4th NBA title and his first since the loss of his father, James Jordan.
After, MJ held the game ball and broke down in the locker room. A title, a tribute, and an iconic sports moment all in one 🕊️🏆
More than 40 years ago, I arrived in Chicago in search of an idea. I was a young man looking for purpose, who believed deeply in America, was inspired by the Civil Rights Movement, and wanted to be a part of something larger. The America I believed in was one where everyone has opportunity, everyone is seen, everyone belongs—because that was an America that had a place for me, too.
It is good to hear Kobe Bryant’s testimony about Michael Jackson. He was shocked when MJ told him that when practicing, he usually dances until he can’t dance 🕺 anymore. That’s how the legend was working so hard, and that changed Kobe’s mindset!
