Speed isn’t about hastiness—it’s about taking action.
The “rules” of sleep apply to different people differently.
This year’s William and Greta Flory concert, “We Can Be Heroes,” focused on the careers and artistic output of recently departed rock stars Bowie and Prince. Hosts Rob Lindley and Bethany Thomas guided the audience through a musical journey—featuring flamboyant and powerful performances from JC Brooks, Mark Hood, Evan Tyron Martin, Andrew Mueller, and Malic White—following Bowie and Prince’s differing names, personas, and musical styles. Despite the disparities between them, both similarly explored race, sex, gender identity, and celebrity at all stages of their careers in a way that remains relevant today. Maybe it was just the timing (the concert took place the night before the election), but a mash-up of Prince’s “Sign o’ the Times” and Bowie’s “I’m Afraid of Americans” hinted that these otherworldly figures knew exactly what was coming once they left this planet. —Brianna Wellen
