Highlight Of The Year

Seeing Melissa Etheridge at Bluesfest -- she reminded me why I loved her as a little girl. Her capacity to connect with an audience with just her voice and a guitar is phenomenal. The rain slashing the tent under the moonlight while she belted out Bring Me Some Water was one of those moments when you had to be there.

Prediction For Next Year

Lady Gaga to get even bigger. I'm late to the party, but she's got it. She may win an Oscar.
