Between this moment and Joni Mitchell singing Both Sides Now, the GRAMMYS #GRAMMYs did a great job of finding ways to remind us how music can make us feel.

"If researchers say they "lost a generation" of knowledge about gun violence, then American families lost even more, with millions of lives cut short and a legacy of trauma passed down through generations." Important example why research, funding, & policy need to come together.
