Good to see Strombo is still around. He was on radio and television at the CBC for a long time, and then he just disappeared...

Strombo is still around. Kicking ass and taking names! You've gotta check out that House of Strombo series I mentioned. Imagine having John Prine in your living room!

I’m sorry to say that I’ve NEVER heard of Strombo before your newsletter! It could be because he’s an artist & I’ve had limited contact with the Art World. I definitely think that I’ll have to look him up on YouTube to get a gander of him!

Thanks for mentioning that Elle King story, she’s a no talent wannabe who should NEVER have been invited to any tribute of an ICONIC superstar like Dolly Parton!

She comes off as a low class white trashy skank! Her presence was unneeded!

No, Strombo isn't an artist. I mean, he may be but I don't know about it. He's a media personality—TV and radio host. And DJ. You should check out his show on Apple Music Radio sometime—he spins some great tunes!

And as for Elle King, yeah, I agree. She's a mess of a person who never should've been on that stage.
