beautiful tribute

Beautiful writing about Kaleb Horton from @cantkill.bsky.social

"Your concept of home is going away and you have to make your own now. And you won’t ever get there. You’ll never feel home in the same way ever again. All you’ve got is memory, a place where you can’t live."

Smart move by two young upstate NY reporters: they filed a FOIA for body cameras worn by the sheriff’s deputies at an ICE raid. These are almost always civil raids so there’s no ongoing criminal investigation that would require that footage to stay confidential. Replicable by any media outlet.

Here he is on Prine, and life:

i'm so deeply sorry

Kaleb was one of my favorite writers, someone you drop everything to read whenever they published anything.

Too many to count, but his meditation on America after Merle Haggard's death was maybe my favorite piece he ever wrote

From 'Hurtin' (on the Bottle)' to 'Hard Headed Woman': Margo Price's booze-free reinvention The country star's performance at Ohana Fest this weekend follows her appearance on last week's infamous episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" that resulted in the host being temporarily banned from ABC.

I had the pleasure of speaking with @missmargoprice.bsky.social about her new album “Hard Headed Woman” for the @latimes.com. It just so happened she was in L.A. for @jimmykimmellive.bsky.social when we called, but we talked about fun stuff like not drinking and her new album tinyurl.com/mpcwnjyu

Artists covered throughout the four-act HARDY arena country show at MSG last night: Blur, Nirvana, the 1975, and Creed.
