In my feelings today because Jenny Wood has passed. If you lived in Wichita, you knew her or saw her play (before the accident in 2019 that killed her mother and niece, and gave Jenny a 5% chance of living). Or both. She moved to Nashville after the wreck, after forgiving the woman who drove the stolen car that struck her family’s vehicle, and if I remember correctly, the PD took the blame for the chase down Broadway. Not one soul in that story, which I covered that day, belonged in it. A tragedy beyond measure. Jenny worked in her final years at a food bank in Nashville. She played until recently, when she had to stop. What matters is her heart, her talent. May that voice and that kind of love for other humans that she had live on. 😢 Here’s a song of hers I think you may like.

You can quit social work, as I did. But some of those lives you walked into, some of their stories, will stay with your forever. Same with journalism. I did both of these jobs at the same time. Once in a while, they intersected. (Which meant there was not a happy ending and possible conflict of interest for me). Even more rare was someone who, in spite of there being NOT a happy ending, chose gratitude instead of spite. A miracle in itself to NOT be bitter about what life handed them... A rare, bright shining light in the world such as this was never meant to last long in this world. You're not what happened to you. A rare person forgives. Even murder. Even murder 2x. And I don't know how long I'll live or where all I will work and who I will continue to meet in this life, but I doubt I will meet another human being with the light Jenny Wood had. That heart. That voice. This one stings. Maybe I'll just share her music, which was a common thread through all her years. She never stopped singing. A voice to last forever. 🕊️

Here's something I can do here, in the LAND OF THE FREE, instead of YouTube etc. I couldn't upload the version of @RadioDetox I wanted to over the weekend to YouTube. It flagged @ivy lumi's music video for WOWOWOW as "copyrighted material." Rather than murder my fledgling channel over one video, I uploaded *only the interview with her for YouTube.* However, I was able to upload the episode the way I *WANTED* it to be to @fountain_app! That is, Ivy's music video is at the start of the episode, leading right into my interview with her. FREEDOM ✅ Thanks, Fountain, @Nick Malster, and @Oscar Merry for enabling me to do what I want to do the way I want to do it. It's up now: https://fountain.fm/episode/7aJdUWB7kXYb7r038Mk7 Please show Ivy Lumi some love! She's got a campaign on @Geyser right now and she's 83% of the way there. If you listened to my recent Radio Detox with @metamick, you know these are now "all or nothing" campaigns. So if the artist doesn't raise the funds 💯 then they don't get the funds. Let's make sure ALL the music artists raise the funds they need for their projects. 🙏 🙏 🙏 (And also, MAKE SONGS LONGER!) More music news to come in a few... stand by... 👀

Someone needs the Julius Randle treatment to start acting right. 🙄 Send him to me for charm school, I had a lot of DUI clients back in the day. Ffs 🤦🏻‍♀️ Still wanna see the Dillon Brooks BAC though. Shame that’s the stat that will define his season now. 🤷‍♀️
