       Preparing for a conversation with my daughter, which she hasn’t announced but I know is coming any moment now…“Yes, I have heard Fast Car.”“Yes, Tracy Chapman. 1988. I remember it well.”“I’ve never listened to Luke Combs, but I’m familiar with his cover.”“Yes, I know that Chapman is black. And she’s queer. Yes. And she’s the first black woman to have a song hit #1 on the country charts.”“Yes, I know how jacked up Nashville is.”“Yes, there’s a long line of white artists appropriating art…”

       @ike I’ve always wanted to see a TV channel called Sequels, which shows the whole franchise in order. (You sit down and get invested with Police Academy, you can watch them all, next.)Now, I want a radio station that does double- and triple-shots of songs and their covers. And the personalities, even if they are AI, bring forth lucid and educational discussions about how we got from Otis Redding to Black Crows, and from Peter Frampton to Dinosaur Jr. (Branding still to come.)
