That Time Johnny Cash Was Arrested in Starkville, Mississippi
Before “country music outlaw” became just another outfit for would-be badasses to try on, Johnny Cash made it a job description. The way the Man in Black told the story of his mishap in the song “Starkville City Jail,” from his 1969 live album Johnny Cash at San Quentin, he was innocently picking dandelions and […]
Black Keys Get Back to Their Blues Roots on ‘Delta Kream’
Burnside and Junior Kimbrough, and their 2006 EP, Chulahoma, was a full-on, we’re-not-worthy Kimbrough tribute that ended with a voicemail from the late blues belter’s widow telling them how much she loved their renditions. Each of its 11 tracks seem like off-the-cuff recitals of Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney’s favorite songs, with a little help […]

The Triumph of BTS
We’re talking about utopian and dystopian futures, about how the boundary-smashing, hegemony-overturning global success of his group, the wildly talented seven-member South Korean juggernaut BTS, feels like a glimpse of a new and better world, of an interconnected 21st century actually living up to its promise. BTS’ downright magical levels of charisma, their genre-defying, sleek-but-personal […]

Celine Dion, Katy Perry, Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan Plot Las Vegas Residencies
The singer is a Vegas veteran, having headlined A New Day… from 2003 to 2007 then returning for Celine in 2011. Dion kicks off The Theatre at Resorts World Casino — a 5,000-seat theater inside the massive luxury destination — on November 5th, making way then for three new faces on the Strip. Her grandmother was […]
Bennifer 2.0 Is a Blast From the Past in the Worst Way Possible
It was the peak of post-9/11 jingoism and everyone was either aggressively championing the Iraq War or making terrible concept albums protesting it; people were still using terms like “gay” pejoratively, to the point that Hilary Duff had to make a PSA about it; and it was impossible to find a dating-age male who could […]

At the height of the initial coin offering craze a few years ago, at least once a week, an acquaintance would send me a new cannabis cryptocurrency ICO notification or a recent article on a cutting-edge startup that planned to change cannabis tech forever with its blockchain application. I’ve seen that demystifying blockchain, cryptocurrency and […]

While that doesn’t include parks — like Union Square, where this year’s march originated on Saturday, […]
My Thoughts on How Brands Can Work to Break the Stigma Around Cannabis
Cannabis is now legal for over 100 million Americans medicinally and/or recreationally; however, many still view the industry through the lens of historical stigma. Contrary to these misperceptions of what we believe to be an often-misunderstood industry, our experience investing across 65+ portfolio companies and engaging with thousands of cannabis consumers has opened our aperture […]
Democrats Are Releasing a Massive Green Jobs and Justice Plan. Here’s What’s In It
“It’s putting forth this unified vision for a recovery that is deeply intersectional, that is extremely bold, and that meets the scale of these multiple crises that we face,” adds Jayapal. The massive scale of the THRIVE Act means that it exists for now as more of a marker than something with a chance of […]
