Grammy-award winner @PJMORTON and his excellent band returned to Columbus for a packed outdoor concert as the Sunday headliner for the highly popular Jazz & Rib Fest.
The encore song “How Deep Is Your Love” is a personal favorite.

There will be a whole lot of international travel (and local economic benefit) to see this musical master!

Five-time Grammy Award-winning musician and the First Daughter of Soul Lalah Hathaway was the closing headliner for CBUS Soul Fest (@CbusSoul) on Saturday night.
A bucket list concert completed!
Her band was incredible and of course, I was ecstatic to see her perform “Angel.”

Grammy-nominated musical icon Stokley (@StokleyOfficial) delivered a stellar concert to a large crowd on Night One of the Cbus Soul Fest (@CbusSoul) in Downtown Columbus’ Bicentennial Park.
This performance of “Breakin’ My Heart (Pretty Brown Eyes),” a classic hit he recorded with his band Mint Condition was highly anticipated!

In 1976, Efraín Gutiérrez made “Please, Don’t Bury Me Alive!” considered the 1st Chicano film. He co-wrote, directed, starred & got it into theaters himself. Then it disappeared.
We spoke to Gutiérrez about making the movie & how @UCLAFTVArchive @ucla_csrc helped restore it.

A scene from one of my favorite movies: Joan Micklin Silver’s Crossing Delancey (1988).
I love New York City and good rom-coms.
The Catholic version (in a way) would be Moonstruck (1987), which I also adore.

As seen on #Threads:
None of us are destined to stop growing, feel less desirable, or think it is too late to learn or have career pivots over age 29.
When I was in the last year of my film program, a 21-22 year old called me old. I was 28. 🤣

Board at 64. Kickboxing 90 minutes a day and still practicing at 76. I started my VC fund at 50. Go get them.”

Qamaria Yemeni Coffee Co. (@QamariaYemeni) was a wonderful place to follow the @FIFAWorldCup games.
Excellent coffee and tea. And of course, as someone with a sweet tooth, desserts were had and are worth the long walk afterwards! 🔥

Greetings, @RockHall:
The only rock band represented on any wall of my home in Central Ohio is Thin Lizzy (@ThinLizzy_).
Before @U2 & @The_Cranberries, there was “The Boys Are Back in Town” and “Jailbreak.”
Somebody *wink wink* needs to campaign in stealth mode for induction.

I listened to @missjillscott’s Who Is Jill Scott?: Words and Sounds Vol. 1 (2000) and To Whom This May Concern (2026) back-to-back on my little CD boombox while working today.
This evening, I met up with a beautiful group of Latinas who have become mi comunidad.
Thank you. 💜
Authentically talented and a natural leader.
Rest in Heavenly Peace, Dolly.
Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.
Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).
A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.
At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at dollyparton.com
In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at imaginationlibrary.com

A perfect summer night to take a power walk through the @OhioState campus the last week before Autumn 2026 begins.
Or as we university employees call it: The great calm before the storm.
To the faculty & staff also enrolled in degree programs during 2026-27, Godspeed!
