I am done debating the @coachella thread. But I'll say the first time I met @ladygaga was at the Grammys when she came to pay respect to Roberta Flack. I took @asvpxrocky to meet @JohnDensmore of @TheDoors Artists know and respect their history! As a music fan you need to also!

For me personally 2024 sucked due mostly to health issues. So I turned to music to get me through. This is the music that got me through this year forbes.com/sites/stevebaltin…

Had a great conversation with @SarahMcLachlan about her 2024 'Fumbling Towards Ecstasy' tour and how proud she is of today's artists like @taylorswift13 "Who is in a different stratosphere all her own, she is her own universe," McLachlan says. @ForbesLife forbes.com/sites/stevebaltin…
