Joni's 10th studio album, MINGUS, a collaboration with composer and jazz musician Charles Mingus, was released 44 years ago this month. It was one of Joni’s most experimental and jazz-centric albums which stands as a heartfelt tribute to Mingus himself.

He did it. Congratulations to my brother Ahmad on graduating from high school yesterday.👏 When our family came to Canada, he didn't know anyone and he barely spoke any English. Now he is fluent in 3 languages and is set to change the world compassionately. Very proud of him.

Another excuse to congratulate Mel Brooks - Happy 97th Birthday!  Mel has accomplished so much over those years but what really impresses me is that he can still fit into his World War II Army jacket! I can’t fit into the pants I bought in February! Viva Corporal Kaminsky!
