I gotta say, I think Dee Dee Bridgewater is being way too serious about all this... 🤔 I mean, she's 75 years old and still going strong, but maybe it's time for her to chill out a bit? 😅 Like, we get it, racism and democracy are big issues, but can't she just have some fun with her music too? 🎶

But at the same time... I don't know, man. She seems like someone who really knows what they're talking about, you know? And I love that she's using her platform to speak out on things that matter to her. It's about time we had more role models like her in the music industry... 👏

I'm torn, honestly. Part of me wants to roll my eyes at her seriousness, but another part of me is all about supporting her cause and seeing where she takes it... 🤝 Guess I'll just have to keep an open mind (and an open heart) about this whole thing! ❤️
 
😊 She's still got it! I mean, 75 years old and still bringing the fire 💥. It's amazing how she's not afraid to speak truth to power and use her platform for good. The jazz world needs more people like Dee Dee - someone who's willing to take risks and push boundaries. Her commitment to empowering women in jazz is also super inspiring 🙌. I love that she's not just a legend, but also a trailblazer 💪.
