I always feel a weird sense of misplaced pride when I see my favorite artists doing big things like playing on the big late night show stages. I feel like “the weird uncle” to quote a friend who watches their careers taking off even though I’ve never met most of them. Whatever, I can’t help but get excited about Leon Bridges playing what can only be described as a spiritually fulfilling version of “River” on Jimmy Kimmel Live, and looking classy as all hell doing it.
