Lizzo is really the ideal of being rich & using your powers for good. Yes I will do a Netflix special. Yes I will sing Rammstein in Germany. Yes I will play a crystal flute & twerk while I do it. Yes I will bring every drag artist in Tennessee onstage with me in Nashville.

On today's DJ session on Sirius, Springsteen opened with his own "41 Shots" & at the end of the song said, "That song is 8 minutes long. that’s how long it took George Floyd to die." Next song: "Murder, Incorporated." the man did not come to play.
