I don’t even know what I would want; I’ve learned enough that I’m not sure I’d find an apology at this point anything but hollow, and I acknowledge that. That said, I also want to be able to run into him at professional event without being afraid of his verbal retaliation. I...
I just don’t see the appeal of Billie Eilish’s“Best Song of the Year” winner. I admit that I’ve never really gotten into her music, especially compared to some of her generational peers like Olivia Rodrigo. I did enjoy some of the stuff from her debut album, and I think she’s...
