Dolly Parton just added her voice to the Jimmy Kimmel Live controversy—and it’s classic Dolly: heartfelt, measured, and thought-provoking. While ABC pulled the show off the air “indefinitely,” Parton urged caution, warning that silencing voices—even uncomfortable ones—risks more than just a TV program. Drawing on her own storytelling journey, she reminded fans how honesty and expression turn pain into art, leaving many wondering: in the fight between accountability and free speech, how much are we willing to lose?....full story bellow👇👇

So heartbroken to hear about the passing of Brett James. Brett was one of the most talented and most respected songwriters in Nashville and wrote some of my personal favorite songs I ever recorded, Telluride and Drugs or Jesus. Our family’s hearts go out to his family, friends and everyone who loved him.

Raymond Loewy. As Lee Klancher of Octane Press and I have discussed on many occasions, designer Mr. Loewy had a hand in bringing us many products in the mid 20th Century. Here are two.

Photos:

My 1953 Farmall Super M. I had the privilege of owning it for almost 30 years. Photographed here in Terry Eipers’ shop, it is now headed to the American Tractor Museum in Perryville, MO.

The Metra commuter trains in and out of Chicago were still running General Motors Electromotive E-Units in the mid 90’s on the West Suburban BNSF line when I took this photo.
Thanks to kind engineers and conductors who knew me, I rode up in cab many times as we headed west from Chicago’s Union Station. (I was given my own protective glasses and earplugs, “…in case an inspector climbs up the ladder.”)

By the way, the Super M and the E-Units were manufactured about 150 miles apart in Northern Illinois.
