Tonight, in a clip from the 1975 documentary Heartworn Highway, the late Townes van Zant, sitting in his trailer in Austin with his girlfriend and a doleful Uncle Seymour Washington, sings the haunting Waitin’ Around To Die.

An update on last night’s tip about Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson’s latest kerfuffle:
Joe Biden overstates deaths in Joplin, Missouri Tornado by 160,839.
Aha, that explains it:
“…the elderly woman’s family..said their grandmother has a panhandling permit..”
Old Jewish Couple Generator.
Minutes of fun.
Great song pick. I just love TvZ and this is one of his best.
Joe Who?
Isn’t it obvious that Biden was picked as ‘impeachment insurance’.

Re: Townes Van Zant
He looks like Justin Trudeau. And here I was having a good day!
I like the look on the old black guy’s face.
As for the girl–she looks like she’s got a few miles on her.

“He looks like Justin Trudeau.”
I can’t even begin to wrap my head around that. He’s the Justin Trudeau antiparticle.
And his girlfriend is cute!
Poor fools. They still don’t understand that the socialist policies of the government have created this mess, and still they are begging for more government intervention. You would think Obama is running their economy. He’s obviously using the same template.

Gotta love those southern rednecks, where political correctness is still in its infancy.

Watch the CBC poster boy avoid a question.
And while we’re on the topic of the CBC poster boy–listen to his comment about our CF-18s that remain one of the world’s top fighter planes, after upgrades of course.
A five year old kid with an interest in fighter aircraft would know that ” size doesn’t matter.” Fighter aircraft revel in ”smallness” and their ability to avoid radar, carry a heavy weapon load, strike and get out fast! However ”big they are” doesn’t matter.
It shows that he has no clue as to what is going on in defense circles.

Re: ”And his girlfriend is cute!”
They’re all cute at this time of the night.
Yes, it is amazing that so many people continue to support Marxist policies that have destroyed one country after another and the people do not learn until the country is on the verge of collapsing or does collapse.
Plainzdrifter, “They’re all cute at this time of the night.” Snicker, especially after a week out on the range.
Ancient Oregon caves may upend understanding of humans in the Americas
Only recently have researchers become convinced that humans lived at the Paisley caves a thousand years before the human settlement documented in the so-called “Clovis” sites in New Mexico, Dennis Jenkins, director of the University of Oregon Archaeology Field School, said in the statement.
The “Clovis First” hypothesis holds that distinctive projectile-point artifacts found at multiple sites across the United States are signs of the first human settlements in North America, the statement said.
But Jenkins’ team used radiocarbon dating to determine that more than 200 samples of human feces collected from the Paisley caves were deposited in the area 14,300 years ago, nearly 1,000 years before the human settlement evidenced in the Clovis era.

“the International Olympic Committee is a notoriously ridiculous organization run by grifters and hereditary aristocrats.”
…-
“Kudos to Norway for deflating the Olympics’ ego-filled balloon”
“This popular recoil from Olympics hosting is a rational response to the excess and corruption of the games in Sochi, Russia, last February, and the painful spectacle of Rio de Janeiro struggling to deliver the next Summer Olympics — not to mention the corruption in Qatar, where hundreds of construction workers have died in the effort to build air-conditioned soccer stadiums in the desert for the 2022 World Cup.”
