I interviewed Brian Wilson in the late '90s when I wrote for the paper in Riverside. It was difficult -- I was terrified I might ask something triggering. Answers were clipped. Until we started talking about the Beach Boys' early shows, and he became an excited kid again.

Cynthia Erivo covering "Purple Rain" with the LA Philharmonic at #Coachella is just what you'd expect. SPECTACULAR. Bawling my eyes out. 💜

Last week's Lady Gaga #gothpera was perfection; this one saw a momentary -- yet glaring -- mic glitch at the very start and some shaky shots. But still -- WOW. These shows were an absolute triumph for everyone from the incredibly intense dancers to the crew. Magnificent.

Please tell me there's going to be a #Coachella Lady Gaga doc/film along the lines of Beyonce... as it is, the cinematography is pretty epic for a live event.

As for the #superbowl ads, the DunKings were hilarious, in keeping with last year's masterpiece. The Nike girls flag football campaign was great. Loved Barry Keoghan on a donkey, flinging laptops. LOL'd at the end of the Harrison Ford Jeep spot as well as Matt Damon's Affleck dig for Stella Artois.

The poor Chiefs are as disappointing as my can of nacho cheese (SLAGIATT). Too bad you can't put beans and sour cream on an offensive line.

First off, the #Grammys had an embarrassment of riches when it came to the nominees. Very strong selections. But the show! Engaging tribute to LA. Nice balance of humor (but not the cringy kind of old). Inspirational acceptances (Doechii, Alicia Keys, Chappell Roan). Great sets. Piano tumbling.

I was impressed that the Weeknd, who had boycotted the out-of-touch Grammys, was back after the academy made much-needed changes. But wow, Diana Ross!!!

I wasn't sure what to expect from #fireaid. But what a genuine, heartfelt salve for a wounded city. Parts were uplifting, others pure fun. All the right people at just the right time. Things in this horrid year finally feel a little hopeful.

Nirvana, but with St. Vincent, Kim Gordon, Joan Jett and Violet Grohl. Truly stunning. Gritty and grungy. Powerful. Somehow cleansing. Magnificent.
