I am really of two minds regarding the bands of my, I'll say. earlier days ....

1) I sincerely wish them continuing success.

2) I'll not attend a current concert or see them perform live in video. Why? Because i have my memories of how much an effect those groups had upon me back in the day. And I do not want to tarnish those memories by seeing the performers now.

Case in point, PBS recently had a fund-raising special "Best of the 60's" It was painful to watch.

I admit, I may be an outlier on this, but there is no way I'd want to see John Lodge trying to reenact the Moody Blues concert experience I had five decades ago.

I mean, back then, a concert I had tickets to in NYC was postponed because the Mellotron did not arrive on the scheduled airline cargo flight.

@#4 ... but I believe that "turkeys" is the correct term. ...

Turkey changes its official name to Türkiye (2022)
www.npr.org

... The Turkish government is asking that the country be called by its Turkish name, a change which the United Nations has now adopted. ...

The new name for Turkey is simply the way it's always been spelled and pronounced in Turkish. One observer noted it would be similar to calling Germany Deutschland. Turkish foreign policy analyst Yoruk Isik says this looks to him like a move to distract people from the long list of problems facing the country. ...



GOP gets 85% of the benefit of climate law. Some still hate it. (August 2024)

... A new tally shows the overwhelming number of jobs and projects funded by the Inflation Reduction Act go to conservative states that back Trump.

"What the Inflation Reduction Act allows us now to do is for everyday people to start to take advantage of this technology," said Othow, a longtime lawyer in North Carolina's solar industry and the president of Black Owners of Solar Services.

The IRA is the Biden Administration's signature climate law. The historic act is the most aggressive climate policy in U.S. history, rolling out billions in tax breaks and other incentives with the goal of cutting economy-wide carbon emissions 40% by 2030.

Every congressional Republican voted against the bill, arguing it was nothing more than handouts to prop up climate and social justice programs. Some on the extreme right continue to argue that climate change is a hoax. But now some GOP House members who voted against the IRA are urging their leader to consider saving key portions of it.

IRA creates economic revolution'

In fact, it is the red states that overwhelmingly have benefitted from the federal government's infusion of clean energy money, according to a report released today by E2, a national nonpartisan group of more than 10,000 business leaders that advocates for a cleaner economy and environment.

Friday marks two years since Biden inked his signature on the IRA. Companies have announced roughly 330 clean energy and vehicle projects since that time, efforts that could create 109,278 jobs and bring in a whopping $126 billion in private investments, if completed, according to the E2 report.

E2's report breaks down IRA-boosted projects by state, sector and industry as well as by congressional district. It found that "nearly 60% of the announced projects " representing 85% of the investments and 68% of the jobs " are in Republican congressional districts." ...

First-Ever Tesla 'Sentry Mode' Lawsuit Filed After Trump Jr.'s Viral Post Leads to Culprit's Arrest
In a groundbreaking legal case sparked by viral social media activity, Donald Trump Jr.'s online post has played a critical role in identifying a man charged with vandalizing a Tesla vehicle at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.
The incident occurred on March 16, 2025, when a Tesla Model X owner, identified anonymously as "J.N." in court filings, returned to discover a severe, deliberate scratch along the passenger side of his vehicle. Reviewing the car's built-in "Sentry Mode" security footage, J.N. found clear evidence of a man intentionally keying his vehicle.
As the video spread online, Trump Jr. reposted a screenshot of the suspect's face to his millions of followers, captioning it, "Internet do your thing." This prompted swift identification of the man in the footage, leading authorities directly to 56-year-old Rafael H. Hernandez of Frisco, Texas.

Subsequently arrested and charged with criminal mischief, Hernandez is now also facing a first-of-its-kind civil lawsuit filed by the Tesla owner. The suit, led by attorneys from the Dallas-based Nachawati Law Group, seeks damages for emotional distress, mental anguish, lost wages, and property damage. Attorneys Majed Nachawati, Drew Bias, and Steve Schulte argue the vandalism was politically motivated, linked to a recent wave of targeted attacks against Tesla owners due to Tesla CEO Elon Musk's involvement with the Trump administration's Department of Governmental Efficiency (DOGE).
"People have the right to purchase whatever vehicle they want, no matter who owns the company, no matter who operates it," said Nachawati. "They should be able to do that free from harassment, intimidation, or harm."
