NEW: The one and only Dolly Parton was in attendance for opening day at Dollywood today! Thousands of people - young and not-as-young - lined the paths of the Pigeon Forge theme park to get a glimpse as the legendary singer and Dreamer-In-Chief rode by in the homecoming parade. It was great to see Dolly back out and about, even answering questions on stage and talking about all of the things coming to Dollywood and beyond this year. She is truly one of the best there is. 🦋

METALLICA MESS: Have you been able to get tickets to the band's upcoming residency at The Sphere in Las Vegas? I've been hearing from a lot of fans who have been trying, only to be met with virtual queues where there are hundreds of thousands of people ahead of them in line. Many are calling for a change to the concert ticket system to somehow prevent tickets from getting snatched up in moments, only to immediately be put on resale sites. How would you change this system? WGN Morning News

I predicted the Chicago Bears would go 6-11 this season. I WAS WRONG. As punishment, my WGN Morning News B-Team co-workers made me sing the Bears fight song while wearing a PACKERS JERSEY. 😱 Thx a lot Lauren Jiggetts Dan Ponce Morgan Kolkmeyer Brhett Vickery
