Groundbreaking.

I have some thoughts about the billing at this year's and I am HEAR FOR IT!!! I love cross-genre collabs and how Coachella has created the space for acts to bring orchestras onstage. However, this is the first time an orchestra was the act!

I pose some questions to other music orgs to think how these can be accomplished in their own communities.

THREE CHEERS FOR Michelle Buteau

"I’ve always been an inclusive person. And especially with comedy or anything in the arts, we have to speak truth to power. I don’t understand why we get to make fun of and punch down and berate on beautiful communities because the world is changing and we should change along with it. I mean, that’s what should happen. Change isn’t linear, but as performers, we also have the power to move that needle. And quite frankly, I really wish more performers that have a bigger platform than me would also speak out, because it’s the reason why an injustice will happen for so long. No one’s calling it out."

The comic and 'Survival of the Thickest' creator-star will release her Radio City Music Hall stand-up special on Dec. 31.

This is a must read:

"Audiences should know by now that what they’re watching is about 20% reality and 80% tricks of the trade. The drama is amped up, with perfectly placed sound effects, strongly percussive music tracks, stolen looks from 10 minutes prior — edited to make you think she’s pi**ed at her enemy when, in actuality, she was rolling her eyes because the sound guy had to p*e. We’re even instructed to cobble together scraps of footage to create entire scenes that never happened at all.

If audiences saw the raw footage of reality TV stars, you’d fall asleep in front of your TVs or go to another app on your phone. Editors have been instructed for years to feed you counterfeit drama to keep you watching so the networks could get more money from advertisers — so network executives could show more profits and give themselves higher salaries."

Editors have been instructed for years to feed you counterfeit drama to keep you watching — but now the industry is taking a turn that we didn't see coming.

Up for more discussion....

JOLIE I knew some of her music, I knew of her, but so much of this was a discovery for me. I hope what audiences find is that there was so much research done into what we believe she really was like — the human being behind the voice and behind the image. Maybe not “behind the voice,” because the voice is the woman. But I think even if I’d read biographies on her, I [wouldn’t have understood her] until I stepped in and kind of felt her. I hope more people discover her and opera and go to the opera and listen to opera. It’s really a transformative, unique art form — I think it does something to our souls that is essential.

"It certainly was the hardest thing I’ve ever done," Jolie tells THR about playing the legendary opera singer Maria Callas, adding, "Where we really connect is in our dedication to our work, our vulnerability, our loneliness and our love of communicating with an audience."

Coming up on this 3-day weekend in the United States, honoring the American labor movement and the works and contributions of laborers to the development and achievements in the United States - let's take a moment for reflection:

With the social summer season nearing its end and we can take moments with our friends and families at the beach, or camping, or backyard barbecues, we often reflect with gratitude the situations we experience - whether in everyday life or art and performance.

How do we perceive beauty and perhaps subsequently the sublime? Is it in moments just described? Is it in the concert we may attend this weekend? How about reading a book and escaping?

Here, the amazing Tessa Davidson Artist explains these concepts by the Immanuel Kant

In this video, we discuss Immanuel Kant and his aesthetic categories of the "beautiful" and the "sublime." We discuss how Kant viewed transcendent aesthetic ...
