After a speeding semitruck killed his son, Gary Wilburn and his wife spent decades advocating for mandated speed limiters in trucks.

DOT proposed a rule to do just that.

Then Trump appointees stepped in, killing the proposed regulation.

Apparently it’s a crime to remind military members to follow the law and refuse illegal orders (something that it is ingrained in basic) and the pentagon can recall you into the service to discipline you. However, the pentagon will not prosecute you for dodging the draft five times.

Fuse 🇺🇸 s/t (1970).
2 kids from Rockford, IL. Rick Nielsen & Tom Peterson, had a band called Fuse. Their album, didn’t do well, but it’s a fun mix of psychedelia, hard rock, & blues. They did better with their 2nd band. Here’s Across the Skies. youtu.be/LMyBk8i91c8?...

Exuma 🇧🇸 s/t (1970).
How many Bahamian artists do you know of? This is an interesting album. To me, it sounds like island meets gospel meets voodoo. It’s a fun listen. Here is Junkanoo via @YouTube. youtu.be/NdeTH6rdIis?...

Syd Barrett 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 The Madcap Laughs (1970).
Those who know me, know I love Robyn Hitchcock. It is because of him I got into Syd Barrett (a huge influence). I love this album. I’m not sure yet if it’ll make my 5, but it stands a chance. Here’s Dark Globe.

Rodriguez 🇺🇸 Cold Fact (1970).
I love Searching for Sugar Man, and that was the first that I’d heard of this guy. I love both his albums, but this is the debut. It’s amazing, and it will be in my 5. Here is a live I Wonder from KEXP via @YouTube. youtu.be/Xw-BpTZAFRY?...

RIP Jimmy 😢
Deeply saddened to hear that Jimmy Cliff has died at the age of 81.

A truly magnificent singer and performer. He started out as a teenager in the early 60s recording future classics like this...

RIP lion 🦁🙏

When someone asks me why I’ve never been fan of watching series as it airs, I’ll just cite Countdown from now on.

Top 10 for 3 months with good numbers on streaming, ended on a massive cliffhanger yet it gets cancelled.

I’ll have to move on from that frustration and as someone who hangs on-

I was only at UMass for 2 years, & they played their football in Foxboro (90 min away) as they were building an FBS level stadium. They should have never left the FCS, they been terrible ever since. To see this however, makes me smile & glad they are keeping it real. www.outkick.com/sports/umass...
