Chicago 🎩🪄 Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is? (1970) A standout from their debut album, showcasing Chicago’s signature horn-driven sound. Early lineup brilliance with Robert Lamm leading. Owned this on 45, probably the first song by them I ever heard! #Chicago

“In the day-to-day trenches of adult life, there is actually no such thing as atheism. There is no such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship.”——David Foster Wallace, a self-professed agnostic

1969 Mustang Mach 1 — this is what real muscle looks like. No big wings, no crazy graphics, no need to show off. Just a fastback body, a long hood, and a 428 Cobra Jet under it that was built for one thing — going fast in a straight line. Ford didn’t build the Mach 1 to be pretty. They built it to be faster than everything else on the street. And when you checked the 428 Cobra Jet option box in 1969, you were getting one of the most feared engines of the muscle car era. Ram Air. Big block torque. 4-speed or automatic. 0–60 in the low 5-second range back in 1969 — that was supercar fast at the time. The Mach 1 wasn’t a secretary’s car. It wasn’t a grocery getter. It was a street fighter with license plates. And today, a real Mach 1 428 Cobra Jet is one of the most respected Mustangs ever built. Not just a Mustang — a legend. 🖤🚀

🇺🇸🎸 ELVIS WAS AN ABSOLUTE LEGEND! You CAN’T overstate the CLASS and PRINCIPLED man he truly was. American icons once stood tall with DIGNITY, GRACE, and WISDOM. Now picture Billie Eilish, Bad Bunny, or Cardi B showing even a fraction of that CHARACTER and INTEGRITY… It’s almost impossible to imagine. Real legends BUILT this country with humility and strength. Today’s spotlight chasers? Hell-bent on TEARING it down with drama, division, and pure noise. We went from THE KING… to clowns. Who else misses the days when stars actually had STANDARDS? #ElvisPresley #Graceland #KingOfRockAndRoll #TCB

@DougWahl1 Love this!

DO YOU SUPPORT DELTA's MOVE? Because of TSA workers not being paid, today Delta Air Lines suspended its special services it had been offering members of congress and their staff. The canceled perks include: Airport escorts Personal "Red Coat" assistants. Your Thoughts?

Throwback to Elvis Presley getting asked about his political beliefs and thoughts on the war.. “I just want to keep my own personal views about that to myself — I’m just an entertainer.”

I’m a high school teacher. We have policies. Late work gets points deducted. Turn it in on time or take the hit. That’s how students learn responsibility. Senior year. Final paper worth thirty percent of the grade. Due Friday. Monday came. Still no paper from this one kid. Smart kid. Never missed assignments before. Called him to my desk after class. “Where’s your paper?” He looked down. “I don’t have it” Waited. He didn’t elaborate. “You know this tanks your grade right? Might not graduate” He nodded. Still wouldn’t look at me. “Do you not care?” His voice cracked. “My dad died Thursday night. Heart attack. Paper was done. On my laptop. But I’ve been at the hospital. At the funeral home. I forgot. I just forgot.” My chest tightened. “I’m so sorry. Why didn’t you tell me?” “Because it sounds like an excuse. Everyone has excuses.” He finally looked up. Eyes red. “Just fail me. I deserve it.” Closed my gradebook. “Email me the paper tonight. Full credit. And take this week off. Come back when you’re ready.” He shook his head. “The policy—” “I’m the teacher. I make exceptions when life happens. Your dad died. That’s not an excuse. That’s a tragedy. Go home.” He graduated. Top ten percent. Spoke at graduation. Mentioned a teacher who showed him that rules and compassion can coexist. I was in the audience. Crying. Sometimes grace matters more than policy. —Mr. Hayes, English teacher

Eric Clapton peforms “Layla” at Royal Albert Hall (1991) If there was ever any doubt about Eric Clapton’s musical ability and stage presence, this is the performance that will change your mind. Slowhand burns just like the cigarette on his Strat.

If phones existed during biblical times! I really enjoyed this! 😅😊🙏❤️
