Hitmaker P!nk has teamed with free-speech advocates PEN America and will distribute banned books at her first couple of concert stops in Florida this week.

P!nk, known for chart-topping hits such as “Raise Your Glass,” “Get This Party Started” and “So What,” kicks off the Florida leg of her current tour in Miami on Tuesday, with a performance in Sunrise on Wednesday before arriving in Orlando for a pair of concerts Saturday and Sunday.

At her South Florida stops, the singer announced Monday, 2,000 copies of four books that have been banned by various public schools will be given away in partnership with PEN America and Books & Books, a bookseller founded in 1982 by Miami Beach native Mitchell Kaplan.

Do you want a replacement for Dolly Parton?

Because this is how it starts

I don't want a replacement. I want another one.

Looks like we're on track. Defying thr government by handing out books is one of my favorite repeating tropes.

English am a funny language. The phrase should be "I want an additional one!" "I want another one" could mean "I want one more," OR "I want a different one."

I agree! Hopefully the contextual clues clarified things.
