Overjoyed (and greatly relieved) to read the first review of my next @groveatlantic book: a starred "rave" from Kirkus, a famously discerning platform. "Exhaustively researched, highly informative. . . . a complete portrait." Pull-quote heaven! kirkusreviews.com/book-revie…

THE BLUES BROTHERS | Kirkus Reviews

An award-winning journalist chronicles the story of the iconic 1980 film and the bond between its two stars.

Planning to work in retirement? Don't count on it

Most Americans expect to keep working in retirement. Few retirees actually work.

Most Americans think Social Security is going broke. Is it?

We are told that Social Security is running out of money. That language is figurative and imprecise, but many Americans take it literally.

NEW: A new Forbes list switches up U.S. billionaire rankings by including wealth they've donated — knocking some down a few pegs. "I commend [Forbes] for being so creative and leveraging their power," IPS scholar @bdevaan tells @danieldevise in @USATODAY: usatoday.com/story/money/202…

The world's five wealthiest people – if you count charity work

Forbes has a new ranking of the planet’s wealthiest people, sorting them not just by net worth but also by the value of all they’ve given away.

I also tossed in some blues history to @KellyPuenteTN's terrific report on the Delta blues journey. usatoday.com/story/news/nati…

We followed the music of the blues from 'the most Southern place on earth'

B.B. King is 100 today! In honor of the birthday, I wrote a Why He Matters piece for @USATODAY. Everyone knows his name, but I think a lot of people don't remember why he is King of the Blues. Shoutout to @BBKingMuseum! usatoday.com/story/entertain…

B.B. King at 100: Why the 'King of the Blues' still matters
