Houston: 2 metro buses crash

By "W"

This was breaking news from kill-tv in Houston. How could drivers prepare for such an eventuality? Can't blame this on the mexican shooter. But who were the drivers? Affirmative Action hires? Will we ever know?

I was watching a piano concerto by F.X. Mozart, Wolfgang's last son, when this popped up.

The great Gordon Lightfoot has died at age 84: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/gordon-lightfoot-dead-obituary-1234716529/
Sad day, always loved his music. My first introduction to Lightfoot was Gord's Gold, his double greatest hits album which I played over and over back in the day. Songs like If You Could Read My Mind, Carefree Highway, Early Morning Rain, Cotton Jenny....many others. He was a genius level songwriter and along with Neil Young and Joni Mitchell part of the holy trinity of Canadian songwriters. He will be missed.

Yes,I posted an obit also,Jerry.A wonderful time to listen to the radio.In my experience,one can only know how great a person's talent is--or the songs are-- is in retrospect--many years down the road. At that time,just hearing them on a day to day basis,you assumed we'd hear these quality songs forever--but it wasn't the correct assumption,of course.By 1977,disco was in full mode.There were scattered talents in the 80s--like John Mellencamp
and Nirvana in the 90s,but basically the talent disappeared and/or the times had changed.Lightfoot was only heard from in oldies concerts and oldies radio.

For a short while though,it was a blast--wasn't it--to listen to music on your transistor radio or $100 record player.
