Hours before 60 Minutes was set to air a story on deportees who were sent by the Trump administration to prison in El Salvador, describing “brutal and torturous conditions,” 60 Minutes announced that it has pulled the segment and will air it in the future.

To me the extremely obvious Olivia Dean comp - at least in a Famous Singers Everyone Knows sense - is Norah Jones. I don't know if it's the Britishness that's throwing people off here or if it's just that Norah Jones tells to get culturally disregarded way too easily.
People have to stop saying that every smooth female soul singer sounds like Sade. No one sounds like Sade, especially not Olivia Dean, who is fine but c'mon

I'm still processing that Meathead is gone. And his wife in what appears to be truly tragic circumstances.
RIP
This is a day for going back to bed.

Also instead of commercials having jingles, it’s either an existing popular song or a Weird Al-lite parody cover. Looking at you medication commercials!

Plus, Jay Thomas with the Lone Ranger story, and him and Dave trying to knock the meatball off the Christmas Tree.
Sometimes I miss Letterman's "Late Show" just because I miss Darlene Love stopping by every year to do "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)." I call those times "December."

Rob Reiner, as I found out just a few weeks ago, was vocal in his support of the first Stonewall March in texas, all the way back in 1977, made his support of queer rights VERY public when it was not even a little bit fashionable to do so.
Rob Reiner was one of the key people behind the effort to go to court to overturn California's anti-marriage equality Proposition 8 when it passed in 2008.
Working with Chad Griffin, they founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights and got Ted Olson and David Boies to team up to fight Prop 8.

When I lived in LA 97-99 (and you may recall this @davidjroth.bsky.social), Rob Reiner led the smoking ban in bars. I couldn’t believe bars could exist without cigs. And I don’t even smoke.
He kickstarted all of it. I still go to bars. I never have to Febreez my clothes.
So, also that.

My fave comment on hair bands was some writer (I think from Rolling Stone) on a TV special about music of the 80s and 90s talking about them as a flash in the pan.
Musically, he said, "today it's as if they never existed"

Big credit to @oldmcdougall.bsky.social’s story here in @nj.com yesterday, one of the best pieces of music journalism this year in its final month. The missing tape is the hook but this is much more about moms and daughters, art across generations and finding new spaces in older styles.
Lost cassette tape connects N.J. girl to her mom's punk legacy. She's got the whole country looking for it.
The South Jersey teen sparked a nationwide search for a tape her mom recorded 30 years ago
