I had a '67 442 that I sold just before I went to basic training. I miss that car. Only mine was plated with ferrous oxide instead of gold.

Metro’s bold plan to transform transportation

Sounds like a pretty ambitious plan.  I think it's a 1/2 cent tax, and not a 1/2% tax, so it's pretty much taking the Superman and Office Space premise.

that is hilarious.

the best part is how he tried to play it off.

he sounds like the damon wayons skit from "in living color" where he's in jail and throws out big words to sound educated.

"Curious by nature, I wanted to test the suggestion that somehow, lurking out in the pornographic world there is some evil operator waiting for the one in a gazillion chance that a candidate for federal office would go to that particular website and thereby be infected with a virus that would cause his or her FEC data file to crash the FEC file application each time that it was loaded on the day of the filing deadline, as well as impact other critical campaign systems,” Webb wrote."

• Border war: Vegas police blame lax California sentencing for crime spike

Reeling from an exploding homicide rate, Las Vegas is pointing a finger to the west, where California has implemented two laws easing sentences and parole conditions for prison inmates.

So far this year, Sin City has seen 66 homicides, up from 29 for the same period in 2015. Metro Police Sheriff Joseph Lombardo told the Las Vegas Sun’s editorial board this week the crime spike can be traced to laws passed in neighboring California to shorten prison sentences for criminals deemed nonviolent.

"We have seen individuals directly related to California committing crimes here in substantial numbers," Lombardo said.

Nevada police did not back down after Lombardo’s charge ignited a border war of words.

“Las Vegas, like many large cities in the U.S. is experiencing a rise in crime,” Larry Hadfield, spokesman for the Las Vegas Metro Police Department, told FoxNews.com. “We are seeing an influx of persons being arrested – or involved in – violent crimes from California. Many of these people have current ties or past affiliations with gangs out of California.”

Interesting article. The amount the bands made was really small compared to today. Santana only made $750, Hendrix made the most.

Forgotten Woodstock: Never Seen Before Images of the Greatest Rock Concert of all Time!

That is a picture of Ken Keesey's bus Further that transported The Merry Pranksters and The Grateful Dead to destinations across the US in the mid 60's. Keesey was a well known author of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest and came up with what he called the Acid Test. People would gather and drink a punch that was laced with acid and his house band The Grateful Dead would play all night while he filmed the interactions in strobe, black light and projecting psychedelic images on the walls and ceiling. 

The above picture was the last road trip for Further. Keesey had retired years before from his all night acid tests after getting busted for marijuana. The original driver, Neil Cassady was dead from an overdose the year before. After Woodstock the bus was parked on Keesey's Oregon property where it slowly became part of the swampland.

It was never restored but sits in a covered garage next to a replica Keesey had made that he used for promotion back in 1990. Most people don't know the 2nd bus isn't the original even though it was made 10 years later with added items like a Prankster hood ornament, a stamped rather than roughly painted name plate and a completely different paint scheme.

amazing to see a crowd of people watching and listening and enjoying the moment.

not a sea of lame smartphones and people trying to broadcast to the world where they are (and in the meantime, missing what is actually going on).
