    Since you chose CDB, here is an interesting bit of trivia about that song in particular:

    The song uses a clever play on words to promote Southern rock music. … The “it” that the South is going to do again, it is implied, is to produce additional popular rock groups.

    Daniels factually bristled at more nefarious interpretations of what the “it” was. … Daniels told Billboard, “I’m damn proud of the South, but I sure as hell am not proud of the Ku Klux Klan. I wrote the song about the land I love and my brothers. It was not written to promote hate groups.”

    Maybe use the songs as an opportunity for discussion … or save it for your kid-free time.




  • “The group also excluded vehicles with pedestrian automatic emergency braking systems,” well fuck. Maybe there’s a reason this is a standard feature on most new vehicles.

    “the auto industry is embracing bigger, more brutish designs for its SUVs and trucks, … and car buyers are increasingly buying into that marketing, snapping up these high-riding vehicles in record numbers.” It’s almost like there are no other options on the market as manufacturers chase fuel economy requirements.

    You give me an update of a 90’s-00’s midsize truck like the Tacoma or Dakota and I’ll write a check so fast the paper rips.
