Time to get crazy


Finally having to dip into my collection to come up with songs, not bad for twenty-three days in, right? I've got three versions of this in my collection, Queen's original, Dwight Yoakam's, and this one, though I should try the Stray Cats version as well and see how it differs as Brian fronts both groups.

Speaking of the Stray Cats, my alternate choice for today was Rock This Town, but would the Brian Setzer Orchestra version even count as a cover?

Time to ride


This is my favorite version of the song, but there's lots of covers and some of them are... interesting. Two funny things to note about this song, the original Allman Brothers version didn't chart, and this version falls into the other covers section of the Wikipedia page. Not sure which version I heard first, this or the Allman Bros, after all they're a staple of classic rock stations and often show up on rock stations, both of which I tend to listen to, but I think it really works as a country song especially when done by Hank Williams Jr.

Rivian R1T is proving it's more than just an everyday EV truck


There are two electric vehicle companies I'm bullish on, and Rivian is one of them, they are slowly and quietly growing especially in niches.

Some traveling music today


So, I don't have much to say about this song, heard this version, then tripped over the original by Old Crow Medicine show, which is great, but boy is there a lot to say about it. Seriously, just hit the Wikipedia page, this song had a wild gestation. Oh, and I didn't realize it was the band Lady Antebellum providing the backing vocals.

Is planting trees 'DEI'? Trump administration cuts nationwide tree-planting effort

In a letter terminating the contract, the U.S. Forest Service stated the program "no longer aligns with agency priorities regarding diversity, equity and inclusion." The U.S. Department of Agriculture, which houses the Forest Service, said in an emailed statement that the agency was complying with President Trump's executive orders.
