Even with an incredible all-women opening act, and a trio of hosts made up of three generations of country queens, the real truth about the genre's gender-bias problem came out during the final envelope. Garth Brooks won Entertainer of the Year—the show's top award—instead of Carrie Underwood, who was believed to be the frontrunner coming into the night. Even in a year with a well-received album, a world tour, and ubiquitous superstardom wasn't enough to earn her the award. Instead, it went to Brooks, who didn't release an album this year and played five shows in 2019.

When the convention convened in Worcester, however, Reilly was still favored to be the nominee. When this speech concluded, Patrick had stampeded the gathering and he had developed an irresistible momentum that carried him to two terms as governor. A legend grew up that, at the end of Patrick's speech, the floor was littered with the campaign buttons of the other candidates. According to Boston political journalist David Bernstein, who was there at the time, this is that rare Massachusetts political legend that actually is true.

While there are some people who believe that the Christmas season can only start after Thanksgiving ends, I have another theory. Since learning about the John Lewis and Partners advertisements a few years ago, I believe that the Christmas season starts as soon as this English company drops their annual holiday advertisement (or advert as they might say across the pond). And I know that seems like something to roll your eyes at, but listen. This isn't that weird Folgers bullshit where the brother and sister seem like they have sexual chemistry over a cup of coffee. This is some "I'm getting Kleenex before I press play" cinema. You hear me, Martin Scorsese? And in the name of all things Santa Clause, this year is a damn good entry into the John Lewis canon.
