I am still not over the St. Vincent x Nirvana collab from FireAid and will be crying to Stevie Nicks doing "Landslide" a hundred more times. I think that concert was the release we all needed, whether you were in person at the Kia Forum or the Intuit Dome or at home on the couch, music is always healing and those performers showed so much genuine love for Los Angeles.
And guess what? It’s FINALLY February.
