This takes real courage and conviction. True compassion. My full respect to Bishop Budde.
Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

Apart from everything else he did, Johnnie Walker *stayed out there* after August 1967. Most of the pirate stations closed; he carried on. Loved his music, loved his audience. Cared about both, deeply. He'll be missed.

Because some damn fool asked, here's a thread about Baxter.
This was taken on the day I brought home Baxter and threw away all hope of an easy life.
Look at him. Absolutely irresistible.
And that's how they get you, the utter bastards
