The Jonas Brothers have been a pop culture phenomenon since 2005 and performed five albums in one night. Looks like boy bands are here to stay!

I can’t believe how long it’s been since I wrote a concert review. I was impressed by Pink’s Vegas-style show in 2019, so I had to go back! This time, I celebrated my mom’s birthday and we saw the first North American stop on Pink’s Summer Carnival tour. Fans of all ages attended and I feel old thinking about how I’ve been listening to Pink for 20 years.
I grew up watching Madonna’s music video for American Pie and I know all the words. When I found an invitation to interview the original singer-songwriter Don McLean, I made it happen! Always check your junk mail! Don McLean and I agree that social media is basically an archive. I’ve shared the audio from our conversation above and you can find the transcript below.

When I was in high school, I wanted to be like Peyton Sawyer on One Tree Hill. Peyton loved listening to music and working with artists. Peyton was a fan of Tegan and Sara and so was I. 10 years later, my dreams came true. I met Tegan and Sara in person! In the last month, I went to their book signing, read their memoir and attended their concert.

Now I’ve officially seen every performer on my must-see list! Watching Pink on award shows convinced me she would be amazing and her Beautiful Trauma World Tour was even better than I imagined.
Between the costumes, acrobatics, dancing and special effects, it was a magical show and she performed for 2 hours! Not only did Pink wear red pants, but she also performed right in front of me and flew over my head, so we almost made eye contact.
