Correction and Clarification: May 11, 2019

In my post about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees for 2019, I said of Janet Jackson, "I'm not saying Janet Jackson isn't a good singer or anything, and I'm not saying she's a first-rate entertainer . . .."  Oops! When you deal with double negatives to convey the positive, you can trip over them when writing something timely and on a deadline.  I meant to say, "I'm not saying Janet Jackson isn't a good singer or anything, and I agree that she's a first-rate entertainer . . ."  My confusing original choice of words, which I regret, has been corrected.  Sorry.
