Jethro Tull--'For Michael Collins, Jeffery and Me'
Jethro Tull--'For Michael Collins, Jeffery and Me'-September 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:13:00

Traffic sucks, so why not start your morning off with some music? You provide the toast and we’ll provide the jams.

Welcome to Moon Week everyone! This very nerdy jam is about a personal hero of mine (no, not Ian Anderson...though now that I think about it...) Michael Collins, the astronaut who rode through the darkness alone while Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong hopped around on the moon bathed in sunshine and glory. Collins said about the experience:

I am alone now, truly alone, and absolutely isolated from any known life. I am it. If a count were taken, the score would be three billion plus two over on the other side of the moon, and one plus God knows what on this side.

Yes, walking on the moon is cool. You’re a hero now! But the guy left behind to stare, alone, into into the abyss...well that is much more interesting to me.

Some sentences start in one place and end in another and you have no idea how the ends are part of the same sentence. Often, some of the weirdest possible descriptions can be found written in eBay ads, and despite having trawled through quite a few of them in...

While it would be a relief to be able to tune out all the coronavirus news and keep pounding out car content paragraph after paragraph, the stark truth is that the outside world is dealing with an unprecedented event. Looking at news feeds from manufacturers means reading one press...

The Quad-Rotor Mercedes-Benz C111/II Prototype Is Already Half A Century Old
Quick! Name a gullwing supercar concept with a quad rotor engine. If you can’t name one, great: you’re probably a normal human being. If you can correctly name the 1970 Mercedes-Benz C111/II, you’re a proper automotive trivia nerd and should be congratulated as such. Mercedes-Benz is celebrating 50 years...

Subaru Is Readying The Final Editions For The BRZ
When Volvo adds “Classic” after the model designation, you know they’re running out the old ones to make room for the new ones. Subaru is a little more to the point with the BRZ, as the “Final Edition” of the Toyobaru has been announced on the German market. Germany...

The Citroën XM Came With A Hidden Trick Window
One form of baguette measuring contests between enthusiasts of French cars is the question of the last “true” Citroën. There are a fair few answers to that question, not only because Citroën cars continue to be built even today. For some, , built until the early ‘90s in estate...
