Curious what folks think about Robin Kelley’s bio of Thelonious Monk. I’m only 50 pages in, but it’s everything I want in a bio. Meticulous research. Rich context. And still very approachable.

Transplants complaining that crawfish are $9.50/lb.
1. It's December.
2. Yes, they are fresh/live
3. Be thankful we can get them in December at all, and take it as a good sign for crawfish season

As we enter the New Year remember fear of making bad art is holding you back. Fear of people not liking your work is holding you back. Rejection is holding you back
You'll make bad art, you'll have people not like your work, and you'll be rejected. Moving past it is half the job of being a creative
