COLUMN: Lessons in chill I learned from seeing Snoop Dogg on 4/20
Even though no one is still really sure why, the Doggfather himself graced Pinnacle Bank Arena with a weed day performance this Wednesday. If you were wondering what exactly a Snoop Dogg concert on 4/20 would entail, but couldn’t justify buying tickets, then let me fill you in on what went down and my main takeaways.
DNDND Ep. 1: Beginnings

OPINION: WNBA players deserve fairer pay
Last month, Russian authorities arrested WNBA star Brittney Griner at the Moscow airport after they found cannabis vape cartridges in her luggage. The Russian media isn’t being particularly forthcoming with information about her detainment, but as of March 8, she’s still in Russia. The reason Griner is in Russia in the first place was because she plays for UMMC Ekaterinburg in the Russian Women’s Basketball Premier League.

"Hold My Hand", Brandy Clark • Country Queer
By Sydney Miller, Associate Editor Greetings, dear reader! I hope you enjoyed the first installment of Queer Country Rewind, where I took a look at “Constant Craving” by k. d. lang. This week, I’m going to be taking a deep dive into “Hold My Hand,” a song off Brandy Clark’s first record, 12 Stories. You may have heard the song already — or possibly the duet with Dwight Yoakam — but if you haven’t, let me give you a quick rundown.
Adeem the Artist's Toby Keith Rebuke • Country Queer
by Sydney Miller, Associate Editor Photo by Shawn Poynter “Wish You Would’ve Been a Cowboy,” a response to Toby Keith’s legacy in country music, is Adeem the Artist’s first single off their new record, Cast Iron Pansexual. Taking its name from Keith’s early hit “Should’ve Been a Cowboy,” the song is, among other pointed critiques of the country superstar, a direct rebuke of Keith’s most jingoistic work, “Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue,” the post-9/11 hit that stoked anti-Muslim rage.
The Sapphic Evolution of Taylor Swift
by Sydney Miller, Associate Editor Even before Taylor Swift surprised-dropped another folk album this year, I was neck-deep in her music. I was in the top 1% of Taylor Swift listeners this year, and this week, Pudding’s AI bot that judges your taste in music let me know that my taste was “swift-fangirl” bad. My colleague James Barker has already written a lovely tribute to growing up queer with Taylor Swift and the implications her songs had for them and for the queer community in general.
The Best Queer Country Venues In America
A Dozen Venues That Must Be Kept Alive By Sydney Miller, Associate Editor Live music. I miss it. You miss it. Artists definitely miss it. Possibly most of all, the people who run venues miss it. The folks who run queer-friendly, country-friendly performance spaces are most definitely not in it for the money. They do it for love, and right now they’re looking down the barrel of a serious crisis.
Country Queer All-Star Poll Winners
By Sydney Miller, Associate Editor There was so much astounding queer country music released this year. Selecting only four nominees for each category almost felt like choosing which finger to cut off for each of our staff members, so I can’t imagine how hard this poll must have been for you. That being said, there are some artists that have gone above and beyond this year, creating absolutely stupendous music. And you, our dear readers, voted for them.
BJ Barham's Saving a Space for You • Country Queer
By Sydney Miller, Associate Editor BJ Barham is the frontman and bandleader of American Aquarium, based in Raleigh, N.C. My father was the one who introduced me to his righteous, red dirt/roots country music. BJ’s always had sadness and anger in his music, but after the 2016 election, with Aquarium’s eighth record, “Things Change,” Barham made it very clear that he was not your average country singer.
