"content": "\u003cp>I woke up to sirens this morning. There was a \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/04/21/s-f-firefighters-control-3-alarm-mission-district-apartment-house-blaze\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">three-alarm apartment fire at 17th and Guerrero\u003c/a> -- as of this writing no one was hurt -- and the acrid smell seeped in through my window one block away. I followed the news reports of it as best I could. I was hoping that might be the most viscerally upsetting news I read today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then I learned that \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/2016/04/21/publicist-confirms-pop-superstar-prince-dies-at-his-minnesota-home/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Prince was dead\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"F*ck 2016,\" is a general theme I'm seeing on Facebook and Twitter today, and I'd be lying if I said I disagreed. Beloved \u003ca href=\"http://www.starwipe.com/article/op-ed-we-celebrities-and-they-should-stop-dying-1758\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">celebrities die every year\u003c/a>, sure. But it does feel like we've lost a \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2016/01/11/this-time-its-personal-why-losing-david-bowie-means-something-different-to-everyone/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">disproportionate number of musical heroes\u003c/a> in the past few months. And Prince, regardless of your relationship to his music, was the best kind of hero -- the kind who, while performing on a different creative plane entirely from that of his contemporaries, appeared to be exerting an amount of effort that most people use in order to tie their shoes, or maybe chew gum and walk at the same time. He was \u003cem>insanely\u003c/em> talented. This cannot be overstated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He pushed himself constantly, yes, but he also seemed like he simply didn't know how to do anything else. He was compelling, flamboyant and endlessly watchable; he was fiercely private and painfully shy. \u003ca href=\"http://heavytable.com/whats-in-princes-fridge/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">His fridge was full of mustard and Dunkaroos\u003c/a>. (That was probably an April Fool's joke, but we can dream.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe title=\"Prince - When Doves Cry (Official Music Video)\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/UG3VcCAlUgE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen>\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I consider myself lucky to have seen him perform live once, at Oracle Arena in 2011, and it was awesome in the truest sense of the word. His guitar fireworks had no parallel; his stage presence, at five-foot-two, was otherworldly. The buildup-freakout dynamic of \"Kiss\" was the best high I've ever felt. Also, using words to describe an artist like Prince is really, really hard. KQED Music Editor \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/2016/02/29/live-review-prince-alone-with-a-piano-at-the-paramount-theatre-in-oakland/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gabe Meline did a great job of it\u003c/a> less than two months ago, following the Purple One's show at the Fox. You should read that review.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the absence of other music words that feel even remotely adequate, I'd like to offer here that part of what made Prince's work land so instinctively for so many people is that he elevated -- added depth, drama and dimension to -- the concept of \"party music,\" a term that's often, unfortunately, used derisively. In Prince songs there were (and are) \u003cem>stakes\u003c/em> to the partying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You could choose to dance, get sexy, or go crazy when he told you to -- or not. But there was no mistaking the gravity of that choice. Prince became popular (I want to write \"came to power\") during an era of staggering moral conservatism in the United States, and here was this weird, confusingly sexual little alien-man from Minneapolis, singing about masturbation; in the process, he penned some of \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auUPqxI1vqg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the best pop songs\u003c/a> of \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRUd247zj44\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">our time\u003c/a>. It was gleefully, gracefully subversive. It is not a coincidence that his band was called The Revolution. The Beastie Boys might've fought for your right to party. But in Prince songs, you were partying for your goddamn life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/studiesincrap/status/723215565473480704\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The best way to celebrate that right now? Tune into Prince's hometown station, \u003ca href=\"http://www.thecurrent.org/listen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Minneapolis' 89.3 FM, The Current\u003c/a>, which is playing all Prince for the foreseeable future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Otherwise: The usual. Hold your loved ones close. And also, maybe, get weird today, in whatever small way you're able. Go crazy. Sometimes that's nothing short of heroic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/aXJhDltzYVQ\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>I woke up to sirens this morning. There was a \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/04/21/s-f-firefighters-control-3-alarm-mission-district-apartment-house-blaze\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">three-alarm apartment fire at 17th and Guerrero\u003c/a> -- as of this writing no one was hurt -- and the acrid smell seeped in through my window one block away. I followed the news reports of it as best I could. I was hoping that might be the most viscerally upsetting news I read today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then I learned that \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/2016/04/21/publicist-confirms-pop-superstar-prince-dies-at-his-minnesota-home/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Prince was dead\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"F*ck 2016,\" is a general theme I'm seeing on Facebook and Twitter today, and I'd be lying if I said I disagreed. Beloved \u003ca href=\"http://www.starwipe.com/article/op-ed-we-celebrities-and-they-should-stop-dying-1758\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">celebrities die every year\u003c/a>, sure. But it does feel like we've lost a \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2016/01/11/this-time-its-personal-why-losing-david-bowie-means-something-different-to-everyone/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">disproportionate number of musical heroes\u003c/a> in the past few months. And Prince, regardless of your relationship to his music, was the best kind of hero -- the kind who, while performing on a different creative plane entirely from that of his contemporaries, appeared to be exerting an amount of effort that most people use in order to tie their shoes, or maybe chew gum and walk at the same time. He was \u003cem>insanely\u003c/em> talented. This cannot be overstated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He pushed himself constantly, yes, but he also seemed like he simply didn't know how to do anything else. He was compelling, flamboyant and endlessly watchable; he was fiercely private and painfully shy. \u003ca href=\"http://heavytable.com/whats-in-princes-fridge/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">His fridge was full of mustard and Dunkaroos\u003c/a>. (That was probably an April Fool's joke, but we can dream.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe title=\"Prince - When Doves Cry (Official Music Video)\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/UG3VcCAlUgE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen>\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I consider myself lucky to have seen him perform live once, at Oracle Arena in 2011, and it was awesome in the truest sense of the word. His guitar fireworks had no parallel; his stage presence, at five-foot-two, was otherworldly. The buildup-freakout dynamic of \"Kiss\" was the best high I've ever felt. Also, using words to describe an artist like Prince is really, really hard. KQED Music Editor \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/2016/02/29/live-review-prince-alone-with-a-piano-at-the-paramount-theatre-in-oakland/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gabe Meline did a great job of it\u003c/a> less than two months ago, following the Purple One's show at the Fox. You should read that review.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the absence of other music words that feel even remotely adequate, I'd like to offer here that part of what made Prince's work land so instinctively for so many people is that he elevated -- added depth, drama and dimension to -- the concept of \"party music,\" a term that's often, unfortunately, used derisively. In Prince songs there were (and are) \u003cem>stakes\u003c/em> to the partying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You could choose to dance, get sexy, or go crazy when he told you to -- or not. But there was no mistaking the gravity of that choice. Prince became popular (I want to write \"came to power\") during an era of staggering moral conservatism in the United States, and here was this weird, confusingly sexual little alien-man from Minneapolis, singing about masturbation; in the process, he penned some of \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auUPqxI1vqg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the best pop songs\u003c/a> of \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRUd247zj44\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">our time\u003c/a>. It was gleefully, gracefully subversive. It is not a coincidence that his band was called The Revolution. The Beastie Boys might've fought for your right to party. But in Prince songs, you were partying for your goddamn life.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Her \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uRN4aPsKXo\" target=\"_blank\">slurred speech\u003c/a> while introducing Kanye West at the 2004 Billboard Awards had cemented her status as a punchline; the joke, you see, was that she was a mess.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was also, of course, a human being with two young children and many dear friends. One of those friends was apparently Margaret Cho, the San Francisco-born comedian, activist, and erstwhile musician. Cho's set to release a new musical album later this month titled \u003cem>American Myth, \u003c/em>a collaboration with singer-songwriter Garrison Starr.

Since the floppy-haired wunderkind released his latest round of absurdly catchy tracks -- including \"Sorry\" (you might have heard it, oh, three or four hundred times, or even \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2016/02/24/watch-justin-biebers-sorry-flash-mob-take-over-san-francisco/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">taken part in a flash mob \u003c/a>dance to it) -- humans of all ages have been shrugging and carrying on like Biebs wasn't one of the most hated celebrities in the country just a few short months ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The years between 2013 and 2015 were terrible for Justin Bieber, and that was, we understood, all his own fault.

There was \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2014/01/23/showbiz/justin-bieber-arrest/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">drag racing under the influence in Miami\u003c/a>, a subsequent arrest and now-famously unrepentant mugshot. In Canada, there was a charge against him for assaulting a limo driver and claims that he spat on his own fans from a hotel balcony. In London, he grabbed a photographer’s camera and ever so eloquently declared: \"I’ll f*cking beat the f*ck out of you.” In Amsterdam, there were \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2013/04/15/dear-justin-bieber-a-letter-from-anne-frank/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">astonishingly insensitive comments about Anne Frank\u003c/a>. In New York, he was filmed simultaneously peeing into a bucket and\u003ca href=\"http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/people/2013/07/11/justin-bieber-apologizes-bill-clinton-pee-bucket-video/2507957/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> insulting Bill Clinton\u003c/a>. In Australia, he left crappy graffiti on a hotel wall. There was even, in a \u003cem>Spinal Tap\u003c/em>-worthy twist, callous \u003ca href=\"http://gawker.com/zookeeper-justin-bieber-left-his-illegal-monkey-fright-1666887438\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pet-monkey-abandonment\u003c/a> in Germany.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Justin Bieber was, without question, a major brat with too much money and too little supervision. The emergence of excruciating videos of him using racist slurs early on in his career only served to prove this point further.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In case that wasn’t enough, the people he surrounded himself with during that time did not help matters. Tales of crewmembers trying to sneak weed through Australian customs emerged. Bodyguards allegedly started fights in English venues and used heavy-handed approaches with fans. And through it all, Bieber strutted around in those weird-diaper pants of his, self-satisfied smirk on his face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_21229\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-21229\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-400x400.jpg\" alt=\"Bieber, in said weird diaper-pants. \" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-400x400.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-800x800.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-768x768.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-1180x1180.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-960x960.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-32x32.jpg 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-64x64.jpg 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-96x96.jpg 96w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-128x128.jpg 128w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-75x75.jpg 75w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bieber, in said weird diaper-pants.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>So how in the hell is Bieber back in America’s favor so quickly? It’s not because of his spouting of religious texts on Instagram, or his \u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/06/09/justin-bieber-baptized_n_5473568.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">desperate baptism in NBA star Tyson Chandler’s bathtub\u003c/a> (which seemed about as authentic as the time Paris Hilton showed up to jail carrying a Bible). It’s not even because he showed us a photo of his perfectly formed bottom (though that didn’t hurt, in the grand scheme of things).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Truthfully, there have been several important steps that have put Bieber back in our good graces. First of all, he paid $80,000 restitution to his egging victim. Not only does this seem like a pretty good pay day for a few propelled dairy products, but the knowledge that Bieber’s neighbor had been asking for $1 million in damages after the incident, made us understand a little bit why Bieber might have wanted to throw eggs in this guy’s direction in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, of course, there was a major ally in the form of Ellen DeGeneres.

Since the floppy-haired wunderkind released his latest round of absurdly catchy tracks -- including \"Sorry\" (you might have heard it, oh, three or four hundred times, or even \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2016/02/24/watch-justin-biebers-sorry-flash-mob-take-over-san-francisco/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">taken part in a flash mob \u003c/a>dance to it) -- humans of all ages have been shrugging and carrying on like Biebs wasn't one of the most hated celebrities in the country just a few short months ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The years between 2013 and 2015 were terrible for Justin Bieber, and that was, we understood, all his own fault. This kid's abhorrent behavior was performed for a prolonged period, and on an impressively global scale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_21237\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-21237\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/justin-bieber-mug-600-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"The infamous mug shot: not exactly the face of remorse.\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/justin-bieber-mug-600-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/justin-bieber-mug-600.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The infamous mug shot: not exactly the face of remorse.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>At home, there was the egging of a neighbor's house. There was \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2014/01/23/showbiz/justin-bieber-arrest/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">drag racing under the influence in Miami\u003c/a>, a subsequent arrest and now-famously unrepentant mugshot. In Canada, there was a charge against him for assaulting a limo driver and claims that he spat on his own fans from a hotel balcony. In London, he grabbed a photographer’s camera and ever so eloquently declared: \"I’ll f*cking beat the f*ck out of you.” In Amsterdam, there were \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2013/04/15/dear-justin-bieber-a-letter-from-anne-frank/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">astonishingly insensitive comments about Anne Frank\u003c/a>. In New York, he was filmed simultaneously peeing into a bucket and\u003ca href=\"http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/people/2013/07/11/justin-bieber-apologizes-bill-clinton-pee-bucket-video/2507957/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> insulting Bill Clinton\u003c/a>. In Australia, he left crappy graffiti on a hotel wall. There was even, in a \u003cem>Spinal Tap\u003c/em>-worthy twist, callous \u003ca href=\"http://gawker.com/zookeeper-justin-bieber-left-his-illegal-monkey-fright-1666887438\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pet-monkey-abandonment\u003c/a> in Germany.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Justin Bieber was, without question, a major brat with too much money and too little supervision. The emergence of excruciating videos of him using racist slurs early on in his career only served to prove this point further.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In case that wasn’t enough, the people he surrounded himself with during that time did not help matters. Tales of crewmembers trying to sneak weed through Australian customs emerged. Bodyguards allegedly started fights in English venues and used heavy-handed approaches with fans. And through it all, Bieber strutted around in those weird-diaper pants of his, self-satisfied smirk on his face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_21229\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-21229\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-400x400.jpg\" alt=\"Bieber, in said weird diaper-pants. \" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-400x400.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-800x800.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-768x768.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-1180x1180.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-960x960.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-32x32.jpg 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-64x64.jpg 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-96x96.jpg 96w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-128x128.jpg 128w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-75x75.jpg 75w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bieber, in said weird diaper-pants.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>So how in the hell is Bieber back in America’s favor so quickly? It’s not because of his spouting of religious texts on Instagram, or his \u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/06/09/justin-bieber-baptized_n_5473568.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">desperate baptism in NBA star Tyson Chandler’s bathtub\u003c/a> (which seemed about as authentic as the time Paris Hilton showed up to jail carrying a Bible). It’s not even because he showed us a photo of his perfectly formed bottom (though that didn’t hurt, in the grand scheme of things).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

First of all, he paid $80,000 restitution to his egging victim. Not only does this seem like a pretty good pay day for a few propelled dairy products, but the knowledge that Bieber’s neighbor had been asking for $1 million in damages after the incident, made us understand a little bit why Bieber might have wanted to throw eggs in this guy’s direction in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, of course, there was a major ally in the form of Ellen DeGeneres.

"content": "\u003cp>Britney Spears ate a whole cobbler last week. At least if you believe \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BChMRSmG8Az/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">her Instagram\u003c/a>, where she posted a picture of an empty pie plate with an adorable caption: “BIG MISTAKE. HUGE MISTAKE... Ate all the peach cobbler today ? And I really want more lol.” (Her followers were quick to point out that the purpleness of the filling suggested blackberry rather than peach, but nonetheless, the sentiment remains the same.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This post brought me joy, just as many of Britney’s Instagrams have over the past few months. The first time \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/_z8kh5m8Gh/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">she tried lamb\u003c/a> (loved it!). The time \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BAViUMFm8NR/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">she met a beautiful horse\u003c/a>. The time \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BAA08b3m8J1/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">she displayed the bruise on her forehead from running into a pole\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Britney’s Instagram is one of the best celebrity accounts -- first, because it’s obviously hers: Unlike the “behind-the-scenes” but obviously produced images posted by \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/taylorswift/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">Taylor Swift\u003c/a>, Brit’s feed is too unpolished, too scattered, too goofy, too \u003cem>normal\u003c/em> for it to be the product of a marketing team. She has some sexy promotional images, but they are interspersed with \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BCdfvsyG8Pk/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">Pinterest-y\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BCZWa3mm8B5/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">affirmations\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BCdZpubm8EL/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">silly\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BAzvQ6_G8D5/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">memes \u003c/a>and \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/_WDR1Um8Lz/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">videos \u003c/a>of her \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/_21iAAm8BO/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">kids\u003c/a>. You get glimpses into her \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BB8QVTJm8Kt/?taken-by=britneyspears&hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">car\u003c/a>, her \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/-XdZ7Km8Ee/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">home\u003c/a>, her \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BAth7P7G8HI/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">meals\u003c/a>, her \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/9vzSrIG8OT/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">life\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But my love for Britney’s ‘grams go way beyond my interest in the human side of celebrity.

At least if you believe \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BChMRSmG8Az/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">her Instagram\u003c/a>, where she posted a picture of an empty pie plate with an adorable caption: “BIG MISTAKE. HUGE MISTAKE... Ate all the peach cobbler today ? And I really want more lol.” (Her followers were quick to point out that the purpleness of the filling suggested blackberry rather than peach, but nonetheless, the sentiment remains the same.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This post brought me joy, just as many of Britney’s Instagrams have over the past few months. The first time \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/_z8kh5m8Gh/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">she tried lamb\u003c/a> (loved it!). The time \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BAViUMFm8NR/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">she met a beautiful horse\u003c/a>. The time \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BAA08b3m8J1/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">she displayed the bruise on her forehead from running into a pole\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Britney’s Instagram is one of the best celebrity accounts -- first, because it’s obviously hers: Unlike the “behind-the-scenes” but obviously produced images posted by \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/taylorswift/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">Taylor Swift\u003c/a>, Brit’s feed is too unpolished, too scattered, too goofy, too \u003cem>normal\u003c/em> for it to be the product of a marketing team. She has some sexy promotional images, but they are interspersed with \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BCdfvsyG8Pk/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">Pinterest-y\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BCZWa3mm8B5/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">affirmations\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BCdZpubm8EL/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">silly\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BAzvQ6_G8D5/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">memes \u003c/a>and \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/_WDR1Um8Lz/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">videos \u003c/a>of her \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/_21iAAm8BO/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">kids\u003c/a>. You get glimpses into her \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BB8QVTJm8Kt/?taken-by=britneyspears&hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">car\u003c/a>, her \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/-XdZ7Km8Ee/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">home\u003c/a>, her \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BAth7P7G8HI/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">meals\u003c/a>, her \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/9vzSrIG8OT/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">life\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But my love for Britney’s ‘grams go way beyond my interest in the human side of celebrity. Other generations have their Taylors and Tiffanys, but I was a sophomore in high school when “...Baby One More Time” came out and therefore feel a certain ownership over Britney. This also means that when she fell apart in the aughts -- when she shaved her head and was in and out of institutions and generally a hot mess -- I felt somewhat complicit in her undoing. We all did.

She reappeared in 2012 as a judge on \u003cem>The X-Factor\u003c/em>, and then in 2013 to announce a two-year residency at Planet Hollywood Las Vegas. That residency is ongoing, and her life \u003ca href=\"http://www.vmagazine.com/site/content/5595/v100-living-for-britney#!/1\" target=\"_blank\">seems to be stable\u003c/a> for what's maybe the first time since she became mega-famous at 18. (An interesting corollary to her contemporaries the Backstreet Boys, whose 2015 documentary, \u003cem>Show Me What You’re Made Of\u003c/em>, revealed that most of them are still dealing with the fallout of teen fame.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Britney’s just living her life\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, and ironically letting us in more than ever -- but this time on her own terms. \u003c/span>Hearts exploded when she \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BB9Vum9G8GT/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">met Hillary Clinton \u003c/a>this year.

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
