WOW, Eve. You know, when I first encountered your reporting, it was after Oct 7, 2023. I was so grateful for your grit and fury as you covered the story most on my mind. I’m an old boomer, queer grandma; former hippie, pothead, bell bottomed, dancing queen, & New York Jew. My soundtrack was different from yours but when I became aware that you were an established reporter of the music scene, I regretted never having encountered your work on that subject. Through all the decades, I never stopped listening. I love this piece on Janet Jackson and so grateful for the Throb clip. It had me rocking on the inside! All blessings!

The SNL video...now that's dancing! I'd like to see that bland blond lady you're going write a book about try to keep up with the epic Janet Jackson! She'd fall flat on her backside within five minutes.

“The show was so breathtaking, it was almost asthmatic.” As is that sentence.

I found you after 10/7. I am rediscovering you as a music writer. Thank you for reminding me of how important Janet was to me. 🤍

I was in the US Navy and stationed in Key West when my middle child was born in 1991. Deb, a navy wife I had befriended, came to the hospital as my husband was away at school and Deb held my baby girl for hours. She had previously been a road manager and told me Janet Jackson was the most decent person she worked for, treating her entire team very well. That decency shines through her face.

I was never really into music that much but I have really enjoyed these three pieces, freedom, Courtney love and Janet Jackson.. And regardless of the topic I look forward to your writing.
