Ok, here is what’s going on this month… New music from Justin Bieber, Green Day, Ozzy Osbourne, Tame Impala, and more… Did my research for music festivals and we found eleven, from New Orleans, Miami, Long Beach to San Francisco.  This month is Black History Month and we got a few treats in art, photography…all creativity. Updates on Comic-Con 2020, AWP Conference + Bookfair 2020, and much more. Theater reviews from Playbill.
