Today is Thanksgiving Day in the US, a time for reflection and appreciation of the many things we have to be grateful for. For many, this past year has been a tough one, for personal reasons, for the loss of so many great artists, or for the unclear political future we face. But rather than wallow in the misery of it all, let’s take some time to think about the good, both the big things and the small moments that bring us joy.
With that in mind, even though we lost both this year, I can’t help but smile seeing the legendary Sharon Jones give a tutorial on the history of Soul Train dances, only to be joined onstage by the immortal Prince. If we live in a universe where something this sublime can happen, then anything is possible. Happy Thanksgiving.
