But I’ll never forget it, or him. I felt like I did a good thing giving him a ride, but being around Buzz was its own reward - something I appreciate more now than I did then. RIP #BuzzBlack

The conversation continued sporadicly between pauses to appreciate the strength of the storm, as we set there barely 50 feet from his front door. It took nearly 15 minutes for the wind and rain to start to settle down. That was the last time I talked to Buzz. I moved away a few months later.

He didn’t want to brave the downpour and back then without weather radar on a smartphone all you could do was wait and see what happened. Over the next few minutes the wind picked up and it started to hail such that I believed a funnel cloud might appear at any moment.

I’d never seen his home so I patiently followed his directions as I started to wonder how long this might take. Just about the time we hit his driveway, the bottom fell out.

The conversation was never dull when talking with Buzz. He came across as curious and humble even though he seemed to know everything under the sun, at least as far as Sumner County was concerned. Well, we passed my house and proceeded up the ridge with plenty of lightning flashing behind us.

Nobody with any sense expects those people to be silent or civil - hence the asymmetry.

Yes! IMO, we could all benefit from less news consumption and more creativity or self-work in its place.

Man, these sets are just great. New bands. Some familiar stuff. And always cuts I’ve never heard from artists I like. Thanks for posting to mixcloud. And long live terrestrial radio!

Jeff Bezos sucks t-shirt

It was partly your mentions of this band over the years that got me to listen.

Wow. What a tune. I hadn’t spun it since last year & didn’t know that one by name. It’s heartbreaking. I can’t imagine what it must have been like to be not only draft eligible, but likely to be drafted. Like a death sentence hanging over your 18th bday. And now I read there’s even more to that tune

Congrats, man! I missed this announcement at first and have spent a considerable portion of today wondering why is Stephen on leave?

1729 really surprised me.

Good stuff.

Yeah, what a talent! “The First Time…” is so hauntingly beautiful, so delicate. And it’s not even her best known track.

I “believe” Elmo, Bannon, and the rest, but I don’t think most Trump voters are bad people (eg Nazis) - just ignorant and easily manipulated.
