Changing the World

I stumbled across this tonight while watching Frontline.
When a simple idea meets opportunity.

This guy was in advertising and then decided to give something back to the world. His idea? He decided to create a water pump that operated by the use of a kids merry-go-round and then put these in villages in Africa. The total cost of one play pump...$7,000. With that investment, the pump produced enough water for 2,500 people per day!
While trying to expand his goal of putting in 1,000 pumps in the next year, the Clinton Foundation along with the backing of First Lady Laura Bush donated $15 Million to the project!!!

One of those...God...how simple...and amazing!

1977

When flutes kicked ass...even in a country song.
Thanks for bending barriers Marshall Tucker Band

Kingfish was Beaten to the Punch

This sounds like something the Kingfish would have come up with.
Bested by an Aussie....

Life 4 Sale

Nod to McKay for uncovering this nugget

The New Face of Terrorism?

Steve Earl has been around for a long time now. Generating some great country/rock tunes...even for me (Copperhead Road). Known as a "rebel" in the country music industry, this maverick always shoots straight from the lips.
This tune is no different. Looking at the modern world from a perspective that gets some an all expense paid vacation to Gitmo, Johnny Walker's Blues takes us to a different place.




Peace Be Upon You

The Storm of '07

From the sound of the talking dopplerheads, it looks like a disaster of Lightfoot proportions
