Joni Mitchell and Brandi Carlile – Both Sides Now
This past Sunday, Joni Mitchell surprised everyone by showing up at the Newport Jazz Festival and sang a number of songs with Brandi Carlile. Given that she's 78 and hasn't performed live in years (due to an anerysm in 2015), it was quite the moment. The emotional highlight was Both Sides Now and you can see Brandi Carlile wiping the tears from her face multiple times in this nicely shot vid.

2022 Game Log 97 – Twins at Brewers
Another 2 game mid-week series against the Brewers. This time in Beer Town. Miller Park lost it's moniker and is now named after an an insurance company, which did nothing for it's toilet-like bowl interior. At least there's a roof on it for the 5 games a year that may be impacted by rain.
Dylan Bundy on the mound tonight and he's done well lately, especially since the Twins have scored 6 runs in each of his last 3 games -- that will also be a big help for the ol' win-loss record. Rookie Ethan Small for the Brewers in his first outing in two months. Hopefully Twins bats can get to him early as the Brewers bullpen is typically lights out.
Miguel Sano back in the line up playing tonight (at the expense of Arraez?). With the trade deadline a week away, could be an interesting few games for the Twins.
Game time at 7:10.
Twins Lineup
CF - Buxton
SS - Correa
2B - Polanco
