Paul Brandt – Convoy
An evening pause: A 2004 version of the 1975 C. W. McCall song that sure proves that life sometimes imitates art.
Hat tip Mike Nelson.
The support of my readers through the years has given me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Four years ago, just before the 2020 election I wrote that Joe Biden's mental health was suspect. Only in this year has the propaganda mainstream media decided to recognize that basic fact.
Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Even today NASA and Congress refuse to recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.

Here’s a more contemporary take based on the Canadian convoy appropriately set grifting off of Neil Young’s “Rocking in the Free World”:

Note: Youtube appear to have mucked with the link to this video a bit. It loads and plays nothing when you click on the unmute button, but after a few seconds displays the end with the Replay symbol. When you click on that it plays OK.
MDN: I had that problem on youtube, but I don’t see it with the embedded video on my page.
MDN–
yes– that link you posted is not in the correct format.

Anecdotally—
I have a free, throw-away account at Spotify, and at no time whatsoever was Neil Young’s music “pulled” or otherwise not available to me the past month. Same for the JRE episodes they claim to have pulled.
C.B. radios were the thing in the 1970s. Now kid truck drivers expect dispatchers or security to call them on their individual cell phones. Brats.
In the 80‘s our trucks (hauling air freight) were equipped with 2-way VHF radios, just like the police use. Way better than that silly, useless CB radio band!
Channel 19 is still used some. Iran may have a sat now.
