LAS VEGAS, NV - SEPTEMBER 21: Jack White poses in the press room during the iHeartRadio Music Festival at T-Mobile Arena on September 21, 2018 in Las Vegas, Nevada. In a since-deleted Instagram post, he wrote, “Putting this up for a day and then taking down to just put this to bed. I didn’t say that I think Taylor Swift’s music was ‘boring’ or whatever click bait the net is trying to scrape together. What I was trying to say in an interview I did about poetry and lyric writing, was that I don’t find it interesting at all for ME to write about MYSELF in my own lyric writing and poetry because I think that it could be repetitive for ME to always write about and it could be uninteresting for people who listen to my music to delve into, and that imaginary characters are more attractive to me as a writer.” White believes musicians should write in the style that they’re the most drawn to, noting that methods like Swift’s are very popular. "They should do what works for them, and they do, and it is obviously appealing to many people, and I’m glad to hear that,” he wrote.The mother of an 11-year-old girl who died in an avalanche near Brighton Ski Resort is speaking publicly for the first time, sharing memories of her daughter anA man was arrested for fatally shooting a victim in the head in Weber County while the two were performing “quick draw drills” with firearms.According to courtA visually impaired man claimed he was belittled and mocked by a Frontier Airlines employee at the Salt Lake International Airport.Eugene Kim said that an airpoNineteen firearms, suspected cocaine and other drugs were found by police searching a St. George home, according to court documents.The two roommates, Dustin MoRichins, 35, faces an aggravated murder charge after she was accused of killing her husband, Eric Richins, with a lethal dose of fentanyl.
