Tal Wilkenfeld. If you don't know who she is, you should.

She's played with some amazing artist. I first saw her playing for Jeff Beck on bass, her weapon of choice.

Wilkenfeld has recorded on projects with Ringo Starr, Brian Wilson, Toto, Todd Rundgren, Macy Gray, Dr. John, Trevor Rabin, Jackson Browne, Joe Walsh, Rod Stewart, John Mayer, Sting, Ben Harper, David Gilmour, Pharrell, Buddy Guy, Billy Gibbons, Lee Ritenour, Hiram Bullock, Susan Tedeschi, and Hans Zimmer.

Moms for Liberty school board member busted for shoplifting from Target

A right-wing Tennessee school board member backed by the Moms for Liberty group has been arrested on shoplifting charges.

Keri Blair, who was elected in November 2022 following a campaign against tolerant "social agendas," is accused of stealing items from Target seven times between Nov. 25 and Dec. 20, reported WATN-TV.

The 43-year-old Blair was booked Jan. 5 and charged with theft of property less than $1,000, and she was released on $7,500 bond.

Police say Blair stole nearly $730 worth of merchandise by "skip-scanning" items at the store's self checkout.
