Paul Brandt – Convoy
An evening pause: A 2004 version of the 1975 C. W. McCall song that sure proves that life sometimes imitates art.

Readers!
My annual February birthday fund-raising drive for Behind the Black is now over. Thank you to everyone who donated or subscribed. While not a record-setter, the donations were more than sufficient and slightly above average.
As I have said many times before, I can’t express what it means to me to get such support, especially as no one is required to pay anything to read my work. Thank you all again!
For those readers who like my work here at Behind the Black and haven't contributed so far, please consider donating or subscribing. My analysis of space, politics, and culture, taken from the perspective of an historian, is almost always on the money and ahead of the game. For example, in 2020 I correctly predicted that the COVID 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. Every one of those 2020 conclusions has turned out right.
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.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

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.

(These guys have great Production values! Good find.)

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.
