Hope this note finds you well. Well, well, well, it has been quite the weekend around here! I usually watch the Superbowl for the ads and the halftime show, but this year's game was pretty exciting. I love JT, but we had trouble hearing the audio. Not sure if it was our set or on their end. As for football, I don't know how or why anyone would consent to getting their head bashed in for money. Life is short and precious. The most precious gift we can give those we love is time and attention. Anyhow, that is how I see it. A few of the players from the Eagles are already announced they will be skipping the White House visit. Fwiw, I agree with their decision. For more info on that, click here: http://cnn.it/2s5bcmr
In the music business corner, It seems momentum is building to ask for Grammy President Neal Portnow's resignation since his ridiculous comments about how women need to "step up" if they want to receive more awards. As I already stated on twitter, maybe it's time for a qualified woman to "step up" into the position he currently holds. Fiona Apple received some press over the weekend for her clever DIY t-shirt, which said "Kneel Portnow" : https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/fiona-apple-tells-grammy-chief-kneel-portnow-via-t-shirt-w516322Last but not least, we received confirmation of some news we have suspected for quite some time, and I am happy to say that we have a grandchild on the way! Woohoo! See elsewhere in this post for cute baby pics of the parents to be. Rumor has it, it's most likely a boy. Now, THAT was a surprise. Fun times ahead.
Have a great week!
