Possibly Elton John's Final Performance Ever
He's said this would be his last performance ever and he delivered. We'll see if it does end up being the final one ever or not.

"Kim Teehee would be the first Cherokee delegate in Congress"
Cherokee people and their tribal government, Teehee believes, should have always had a seat at the table where these decisions were made: The very treaty that saw her ancestors forced off their lands almost 200 years ago also promised Cherokee people a non-voting delegate seat in the US House. Now, the Cherokee Nation and Teehee — who was appointed to the job by the tribe's leaders — are mounting an aggressive campaign to see that promise fulfilled.
The Cherokee Nation's efforts to sit Teehee in the House have bipartisan support, but it's not immediately clear when or how congressional leaders will take up the issue in earnest. If she gets this seat, with spots on key panels and the power to speak on the House floor, Teehee hopes to help shape the next chapter of federal policy to benefit tribal governments and the people they serve. That includes addressing the epidemic of violence against Native women, saving the Cherokee language from extinction, and protecting funding for health care and housing.
