Being Trans in Country Is Dangerous. It Didn't Stop This Singer From Coming Out
Vandoliers singer Jenni Rose embraces life as a trans woman on the Texas country-punk band's new album 'Life Behind Bars.'
In April, @vandoliers.bsky.social co-founder, lead singer, and primary songwriter Jenni Rose came out as trans to me in a @rollingstone.com story. Today I learned that story is a finalist for an LA Press Club award for diversity writing in music.

'We Have to Rise Above Argument and Politics': U2 Accept Woody Guthrie Prize
Watch U2's Bono, the Edge sing 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' and more while accepting Woody Guthrie Prize in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Saw Bono and The Edge accept the 2025 Woody Guthrie Prize for U2 on Tuesday at Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa.
I'd also been in Oklahoma exploring Guthrie's cultural impact for most of this year. Funny how things turn into stories that are up @rollingstone.com now.
