A show I’ll never forget. Three former presidents (Clinton, Obama and Bush) and Biden each taped messages honoring Carter, who turns 100 on Oct. 1. The entire musical lineup came out for a final song: Georgia on My Mind. And a parting gift: Braves hats for all. #gapol
Governor Kemp’s wife spoke in Atlanta today, to a conference of physicians and health care providers. While addressing mental health, Kemp had this to say: “Parents need to let kids relax a little. Let them know their future husband won't care what their GPA is."

Wow! My @BitterSouth profile on Paul Kwilecki made the @Longreads Top 5. Thank you, Longreads. Your work is vital.
3. "The Only Home He Ever Knew," @MrBrock
"Southwest Georgia was both a muse and a yoke for Kwilecki: From birth to death, it held him tight."

Really honored. Thanks, @longreads @kristastevens
"Paul Kwilecki, the great Southern documentary photographer, was so enamored of his hometown that he could get homesick without even leaving." @MrBrock @BitterSouth bittersoutherner.com/paul-kw…
This means a lot. Sam, a Guggenheim fellow, has spent a big chunk of his career studying W. Eugene Smith—and made an important discovery of Smith’s recordings of jazz artists. He was also the ghost writer on Lucinda Williams’ memoir. Thank you, Sam. cc: @BitterSouth

'Photographer Paul Kwilecki spent four decades documenting a single southwest Georgia county, a place he called home and where he never truly fit in. @MrBrock traces Kwilecki’s steps, combs through his archives and cracks open his personal journals.'

Yep.
“A place he called home and where he never truly fit in” is a sentence that parachuted out of nowhere to hit me today. @BitterSouth
