Damn. it was a good year for music.
It didn’t always feel that way, though. While Kendrick Lamar’s aforementioned fourth studio album -- which hit like a meteor on the Friday before the rapper’s monster set to close out Coachella -- much of 2017 was defined by growers rather than out of the gate jams and much of the summer passed without a bona fide “Song of” said season. (Barely. More on that in a second.)
Really, it's only on looking back at the cavalcade of "Best Of" lists that footnote every year that you realize how full of noteworthy sounds 2017 in particular was. And now, with the nearly ubiquitous acceptance of streaming as the primary method of song consumption, not only is the roster of artists who find both large audiences and critical acclaim more diverse and democratized than ever, but the entire idea of a publication-determined "Best Music of the Year" feels almost silly.

Whose Episode Is It?
It’s a Negan episode. Wait, don’t go! It’s actually much better than it sounds! In fact, “The Big Scary U” is not only the best episode of Season 8, it might be better than any episode from Season 7. And it manages this feat by simply giving Negan some depth and motivation, an actual character for us to consider, instead of a one-note psychopath. It also gives poor Jeffrey Dean Morgan something to do other than bluster, and he admirably rises to the occasion.
“The Big Scary U” also goes a long way in confirming that this season will finally seriously address the moral costs of living in the zombie apocalypse, as it both establishes Negan’s philosophy and questions Rick’s methodology. It even manages to address this in different storylines involving multiple characters, which is a rarity for the standard recent “Walking Dead...

People aren’t perfect—and famous people are no exception. Every now and again, an actress will utter an insulting slur. An actor will get caught in a sex scandal. A politician won’t be able to keep it in his pants. Things happen. And yet, as Gary Oldman discovered this week, being in the spotlight means having to ‘fess up about your lesser moments in the court of public opinion. The public mea culpa has become a form of performance art (and not just because Shia Labeouf once tried to turn it into actual performance art).

David Letterman granted a rare interview to Oprah Winfrey, and you can bet the two talk show titans -- who have managed to put their bad blood behind them -- tackled the topic of the Late Show host's embarrassing sex scandal. And "sex scandal" is exactly the term Letterman, 65, uses to describe a string of affairs he'd had with several Late Show interns -- both before and after marrying Regina Lasko, his longtime girlfriend and mother to his son, Harry. "You want to get through your whole life and not have the word 'sex scandal' attached to your name," Winfrey says.

Although it’s been more than three years since David’s sex scandal was revealed, David says he’s still ‘looking to find out why I behaved the way I behaved.’
David Letterman sits down for an emotional interview with Oprah Winfrey on Jan. 6, in which he finally opens up about his infamous sex scandal with a multitude of his Late Show employees.
On the Oct. 1, 2009 episode of The Late Show with David Letterman, he directly confirmed having sexual relations with not one, but multiple female employees over the years. The news of his infidelities surfaced just six months after he married his long-time girlfriend — and mother of his son, Harry — Regina Lasko in March 2009.
