It really is hard to come back to reality after spending three days in picturesque Whitefish, Montana, taking in the music of some of our generation’s very top talents courtesy of the Under The Big Sky Festival on the Big Mountain Ranch. From helping to crown legacies, to breaking up-and-comers, to giving opportunities to those who deserve them, to making plenty of memories for attendees along the way, Under The Big Sky Fest in 2024 had it all, and in ways that feel like they’ll impact the music world well beyond the festival itself.

I am thinking that looking at the most formidable and dangerous people in our history might be a good way to make the determination of the most dangerous signs. Let’s see what we can learn.

People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds.

“[I]nvoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God,” the Constitution of the Confederate States of America composed by southern slaveholders in 1861 sought to “establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” The authors of Project 2025, the latest playbook for restructuring the federal government in order to accomplish the policy goals of Christian Nationalists, similarly declare their manifesto will “decide America’s future” by securing their “God-given individual rights to live freely” and exercise dominion over others.

(MA) Meet Winks, an adorable and incredibly strong puppy with a heartbreaking origin. Winks was found unmoving on the side of a road with severe injuries. He had several very infected wounds and was barely holding on when his rescuers rushed him to the vet. Once there, x-rays revealed the horrifying truth that Winks had been shot numerous times around his face and neck. These injuries resulted in him having his eye removed. Despite that, Winks has made a miraculous and full recovery. He certainly does not let his handicap slow him down at his new foster home. Winks was truly given a second chance at life, and now all he needs is a family to call his own.

Banner photo of festival site by Victor Diaz Lamich. Choices. There are easy ones and difficult ones in life. And when it comes to the Festival International de Jazz de Montreal, the choices always lean towards the difficult. There is just so much good music going on from mid-afternoon until after midnight at the eighteen different stages of the festival. Sometimes you can try to catch one half of one set and then make a beeline through the crowds to catch at least 15 minutes of another. But just as often, you find yourself halfway and pulled to catch some of an artist you hadn't even put on your list.
