“Seinfeld” had one of the most controversial finales in the history of TV. And if you didn’t like it — at the end of a standup gig in Boston over the weekend, Jerry did a Q&A, and someone asked him if he was happy with the way the show ended. “I have a little secret for you about the ending . . . Something is going to happen that has to do with that ending. Hasn’t happened yet. And just what you are thinking about, Larry [David] and I have also been thinking about it. So you’ll see, we’ll see.”

According to a poll of 2,000 young people, age 14 to 25, Taylor Swift is the artist who has the most positive impact on mood and wellbeing. Ed Sheeran is a close second. But nearly two-thirds of those polled say that a “shared appreciation of artists through dedicated fan bases” also has a positive influence. In other words, being a Swiftie is good for your mental health.
Dolly Parton said in a new interview that she steers clear of politics, because people are so divided “you’re going to lose half your audience.” She even avoids the topic with family now . . . probably good advice with Thanksgiving coming up. “It’s like we can’t even go to a family dinner anymore. Especially if people are drinking, they get in a [dang] fight at the table.” She said her fans are all over the map politically, and she cares about all of them. Quote, “I ain’t that good a Christian to think I am SO good I can judge people.” She admitted she does voice her opinion sometimes, like on her new song “World on Fire”. But it’s really a shot at ALL politicians. And her advice in general is don’t get so stuck in your ways, you can’t change your opinion. “I see both sides of everything. I think people can change their views on a lot of things if they would open their eyes wide enough.”
Dustin Lynch is VERY proud of his new album, “Killed the Cowboy”. I know, every artist says that after releasing new music. But this isn’t about whether you’ll buy it or not, although I’m sure he wants you to. He’s proud because it represents a new level of emotional maturity in his songwriting. And he can point to the exact moment he realized that. “I still remember getting in my truck on a handful of these songs and just being moved to tears with how proud I was of how they turned out. I’m just addicted to creating music out of thin air . . . it’s a magical process.” The “thin air” got a little help, and he DOES give due props on that. Quote, “I have the best songwriters and musicians and singers the world has ever made. It’s still just unbelievable I get to work with them.”
Jellyroll performed at an outdoor venue in Akron, Ohio last month . . . and a CRAZY fan somehow got from the lawn to the top of the pavilion, and he kept running up it until he got to the top. Several people posted videos on social media. The fan was arrested, but Jelly posted a comment saying that he’d be willing to “bond him out.” He’s probably just saying that. There’s no indication he sent any money. It’s also unclear what kind of trouble the fan is in.
