Ahead of her return to the Eurovision — Australia Decides, Jaguar Jonze talks to BW about song writing, how she plans to bring the drama to the Eurovision stage, and her pivotal role in sparking off the MeToo movement in the Australian music industry. Jaguar also gives us an update on the national review of the music industry, which is now accepting confidential submissions.

We’re looking at two portrayals of LA in pop culture. 

First, the Superbowl LVI Halftime Show featuring hip hop legends Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, Eminem and Queen of RnB Mary J Blige blew the roof off Inglewood’s SoFi stadium. Was it a joyous, and hopefully healing moment, for the tested relationship between the NFL and Black America?

Second, BW reviews Bel-Air, a dramatic re-envisioning of 90s classic sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

And BW + BL wear out carpet next to their respective beds praying for Wordle and the unfairly maligned ukulele.
